Jungle meets beach: welcome to Manuel Antonio!

¡Buenos días! Before you know it, you're whizzing through a tropical sea of green on the bus. Dense vegetation stretches out in every direction and shines in your astonished eyes with a thousand radiant colours! By now, you're no longer surprised that almost a third of the country is a nature reserve.

Green soon turns to deep blue, and you've made it to the Pacific Ocean! Not only is your accommodation just a stone's throw away from the beach, but Manuel Antonio National Park is right nearby, too. But before you plunge into your jungle adventure, you're drawn to the endless azure expanse, where you bury your feet in the warm sand and let the hours fly by or go for a stroll along palm-fringed beaches till the sun gives way to the twinkling stars.

Hail a taxi (optional, payable on site) and dive into the depths of the jungle!

Our tip: book your entrance online in advance, then there'll be nothing holding you back. Lush green rainforest, gigantic mountains and white sand beaches make Manuel Antonio National Park one of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica! Slide on your hiking boots, explore secluded trails and make your way through the dense vegetation of the jungle. Make sure to keep your camera ready, too; after all, the biodiversity here is truly unique: from iguanas to coatis and the rare squirrel monkeys, you'll find numerous exotic tree dwellers romping about in the dense canopy above you. And the hiking trail leads directly to the beach, where you can get up close and personal with sloths and capuchin monkeys climbing from tree to tree under coconut palms. Swim in the turquoise sea and watch majestic pelicans as they scour the waters for their next meal.

Even though you're leaving Manuel Antonio, at the end of the day, the sound of the ocean waves welcomes you back to Montezuma! On your way there, you whizz along the coast in a minibus to the Gulf of Nicoya, where you take the ferry to the other side.

The scent of the sea fills the air as you slowly approach Montezuma or Santa Teresa. No matter where you stay, you can feel Costa Rica's chill vibes everywhere! Check in then enjoy an evening stroll through the alleyways and listen to the colourful soundscape. The best part of it all: the beach is just a stone's throw away! So, grab your favourite drink and end the day with the sun in your heart and your feet in the warm sand.
