Manual Antonio National Park
Although this park is small in area (only 1687 acres), it is
rich in inhabitants. Over 100 species of animals and nearly
200 species of birds live in the park. All three species of
monkey found in Costa Rica reside in the park - the
white-throated capuchin monkeys, the endangered squirrel
monkeys, and the white-faced monkeys. In addition to
monkeys, you can expect to see colorful birds, iguanas,
sloths, and other animals. Just off the beaches of Manual
Antonio lies another world worth exploring. When the water
is clear, snorkeling reveals bright, florescent-colored fish
swimming among the corals. The best snorkeling sites are
located near the rocky sections at the ends of the beaches.
Further out, the park encompasses twelve islets just off the
coast where it is possible to see dolphins and migrating
whales.
