Manuel Antonio National Park
While the early risers enjoyed their pastries and fresh coffee at the lounge, our young explorers prepared for sharing another magnificent day on the beach! Everyone was astonished by the fascinating view of Manuel Antonio National Park and its incredible merge of fresh emerald green forest and deep blue waters.
Manuel Antonio is one of the most pristine national parks of Costa Rica. Despite its relatively small size of approximately 1800 hectares (or 4500 acres), this region represents a great challenge for nature lovers with its more than 300 species of birds. The rich biodiversity of the area includes several species of mammals such as monkeys and sloths. Precisely, our group had a captivating encounter with a troop of white-throated capuchin monkeys as well as both two-toed and three toed sloth, while they walked the already named “sloth valley trail”. Many more of our guests decided to go for a much more demanding hike up to the Cathedral Point and its natural panoramic observation.
During the entire morning our guests enjoyed the relaxing waters of the Pacific Ocean. Later on, after an invigorating lunch that included special treats for our young explorers, our expedition group went back to the beach for the last taste of this wonderful world of primeval beauty. Upon return to the Sea Voyager, we all had fun remembering the best moments of our trip thanks to the slide show presented by the Natural History Staff.
Up on the lounge, our Captain Mr. Fernando Ramos wished everyone a safe way home after we thanked our guests for an unforgettable week of fun, great learning opportunities and splendid quality family time.
At the end, our guests showed once more their endless enthusiasm when someone came back in a hurry to the lounge alerting us about the last view of a whale far on the horizon. We all said “hasta luego” while the sun disappeared gently in the balmy waters of Costa Rica!
