Manuel Antonio National Park is the quintessential Costa Rican wildlife experience that is not to be missed by animal lovers and those in persuit of beautiful tropical beaches with rainforest reaching right up to the ocean. This has to be one of the best places in the world to see tropical wildlife, almost seeming like a zoo, as you spot monkeys, sloths, and other rainforest dwellers like cute coatis in a natural environment as you meander along paths on the rainforest floor. Relax, and have a picnic on the beach, but watch out for mischiveous monkeys that try to steal your food! Manuel Antonio is a must-experience destination both for families and for couples who can select from numerous romantic eco-lodges and beachfront hotels with spectacular views.

Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
