Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica

Surprising is the fact that the most dense areas of our planet, from biological point of view, are rather small. The brightest example of such an ‘anomaly’ is Manuel Antonio National Park whose territory is just 7 square kilometres. The reserve was established in 1972 and has long been extremely popular among the tourists. For them a special infrastructure has been created here.

Nowadays, plenty of fascinating attractions are open to the visitors of Manuel Antonio park. The so-called Canopy tours are undoubtedly of high demand. These are trips through the jungle on suspension cables equipped between crowns of trees. Such means of travel is an excellent way to explore the exotic varieties of plant and animal life of the park and enjoy its splendor.

Some areas are equipped with suspension bridges, not everyone has the courage to take a walk on them. You may take exquisite shots from the bridges since they are located in the most beautiful areas of the reserve, near the waterfalls above the wild rivers. Courageous tourists are fond of Mangrove tours in wetlands, they have an opportunity to see crocodiles and other reptiles there as well as study Damas caves. Romantics can take a walk along the gorgeous white-sand coast and watch the birds, some protected beaches of Manuel Antonio are accessible to leisure. Next - Yellowstone National Park
