Day 6: Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio.

Morning and afternoon: hike in Manuel Antonio National Park

We woke up at 8 am and by 10 am we were in Manuel Antonio National Park (the ticket for the Park is just $7, the bus from Quepos is 105 colones - roughly 20 cents).

The park was absolutely great, we didn't pick a guided tour and yet were able to spot many animals: iguanas, monkeys, racoons & family, etc. The park has really astounding beaches and it is great to be able to walk in the forest and then relax and swim in an uncrowded beach surrounded by trees.
