Manuel Antonio
Quepos has become an important commercial center thanks to the stunning beauty of Manuel Antonio's hills beaches. There is a 7 km (approx. 4 miles) long winding road that joins Quepos with Manuel Antonio offering picturesque views of the ocean.
Many hotels, cabins, restaurants and homes are built along this picturesque road. In the last 20 or so years despite such “invasion” Manuel Antonio has kept its charm and beauty. The area is infact so rich in vegetation that most buildings are not visible from the main road nor from the beach.
Manuel Antonio is among one of the most publicized destinations in Costa Rica. The fast increasing number of tourists and visitors has created an escalation in hotel prices that tend to be much higher here than in the rest of the country.
Nonetheless, Manuel Antonio and its neighboring area are well worth a visit; squirrel monkeys, sloths and colorful birds can easily be spotted in the lush vegetation that surrounds you. Be active, hire a bike, a horse, a kayak, fill yourself with adrenaline by touring the canopy or relax … you can always find a tranquil and secluded spot on the beach. Manuel Antonio will make your holiday an unforgettable one. The most visited attraction in this town and a must-see is the famous Manuel Antonio National Park.
