Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio is the smallest national park in Costa Rica but
also one of the more popular ones. With beautiful white beaches and
rocky headlands, backed by tropical rainforest, mangroves and
estuaries, it is easy to see why. Among this varied landscape are
typical Costa Rican animals like sloths, agoutis, monkeys and
iguanas. It has a well-developed trail system to facilitate
independent exploration, but knowledgeable local guides are also
available at the park entrance. Picnic areas are situated along the
coastal trails, and from cliff top lookouts visitors can admire the
stunning coastal views. Quepos is the nearest town to the park, a
pleasant and friendly place, and it is also the sport-fishing
centre in the region. Sailfish and marlin are the sought after
deep-sea prizes.
Information & Facts
Admission
Language
Spanish is the official language, but English is widely
spoken.
Money
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is divided into 100 céntimos and is
the official currency, although US Dollars are also widely
accepted. US Dollars and travellers cheques can be exchanged in
banks and many hotels. Banks charge a service fee for cashing
travellers cheques and currency other than US$ is difficult to
exchange. Using black market exchange options is risky as they have
been known to pass on counterfeit bills printed in Colombia. Banks
close anywhere from 3pm to 6pm. Major credit cards are widely
accepted, although American Express and Diners Club might be more
limited. ATMs are available in major towns throughout the country,
but it is advisable to always have some local cash handy.
Opening Times
Tuesday to Sunday 7am to 4pm.
