Things to Do

Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio National Park, on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, encompasses rugged rainforest, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. It’s renowned for its vast diversity of tropical plants and wildlife, from three-toed sloths and endangered white-faced capuchin monkeys to hundreds of bird species. The area features zip lining, hiking, whitewater rafting, canyoning, ATV tours, mangrove boat or kayak tours, parasailing, jet skiing, sportfishing, sunset cruises, birding, and even segway tours. 

Flights

Flight Tips

The week we chose is generally less expensive as it lands in between two busy holiday periods. We reviewed for 2018 and found the average from LAX-SJO was around $350-$400 RT. I've included a link to flight tips below.

Transportation

From San Jose, CR (SJO) to Manuel Antonio (2 hour drive)

Download WAZE for navigation - Google Maps does not work well in CR.

The concierge at our villa can assist with transportation needs. If you'd like to arrange yourself you can find helpful information at the link below. 

Weather

Hot, sunny, tropical weather

Expect highs in the lower '80s, minimal rain (but it's a tropical environment so be prepared), humidity at 80%.
