A brief introduction to Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio lies on a small peninsula on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica known for its rich biodiversity. The Manuel Antonio National Park was established in 1972 to preserve the area’s lush rainforest, mangrove swamps, lagoons and pristine white sand beaches. Some of the most popular critters include two- and three-toed sloths, green kingfishers and brown pelicans; Manuel Antonio is also the only remaining habitat of the gray-crowned Central American squirrel monkey (also referred to as Mono Tití).
