Also you can enjoy any one of a number of fine international restaurants in either Quepos or Manuel Antonio.

Finally, top off the perfect day with a visit to the popular casino or one of the local discotheques.

Makanda's own secluded beaches as well as those of Manuel Antonio are great for surfing sunning and sea kayaking. Then test your fins while snorkeling or scuba diving off the volcanic reefs of nearby islands.

For many of our visitors, horseback riding on rainforest trails or sunset beaches is an unforgettable part of their Costa Rican experience.

World-renown for its beautiful beaches and wildlife, Manuel Antonio National Park showcases the area's natural abundance through its professionally-guided tours and well-tended trails.
