This is an informative two-mile-long hike that weaves throughout Manuel Antonio National Park and takes its visitors on an educational journey to get to know the exotic plants and animals that live there. This is a great activity to see monkeys and enjoy the beach from a whole new perspective.
Your nature guide will occasionally stop and tell you the history and other facts about interesting creatures in the jungle. You can even take advantage of the guide’s telescope and find birds or creatures hidden far away. Three species of monkeys, sloths, many species of birds, reptiles, and butterflies can be seen in the park. During the hike, you will have a chance to relax on the beach, swim, and enjoy a snack.
