Manuel Antonio National Park

The park is currently developing adequate infrastructure to support visitors, with emphasis on harmony with nature to reduce visual impact and follow strict environmental protection.

Some buildings have been designed by the bioclimatic architects Ibo Bonilla and Rafael Víquez, including the Visitor Centre and the Casa de Guarda Parques.

The park is also crossed by a network of trails equipped with universal accessibility facilities, rest areas, and scenic overlooks.

Included in the 184 bird species[5] are toucans, woodpeckers, potoos, motmots, tanagers, turkey vulture, parakeets and hawks.

Scuba diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking provide opportunities to experience the tropical wildlife that enriches Manuel Antonio.

However, due to recent eruptions, Poás Volcano is closed indefinitely, making Manuel Antonio the most visited national park in Costa Rica.
