Exploring the lush trails and spotting sloths in their natural habitat was a highlight for our group, turning our day into an unforgettable adventure. While the drive was a bit long from the city, the vibrant wildlife and stunning landscapes made it well worth the journey.

We had an incredible time immersing ourselves in the biodiversity at Manuel Antonio National Park, where we encountered everything from vibrant toucans to playful monkeys swinging through the trees. The only downside was that our guide sometimes rushed us through certain areas, which made it tough to soak in everything around us. Overall, this adventure offered a fantastic glimpse into Costa Rica’s rich wildlife while allowing us to explore the stunning coastal views that the park has to offer.
