Manuel Antonio National Park and Croc Skywalk

Wildlife, rainforest, and one of the most beautiful beaches on the Pacific coast.

We depart early from San José toward the Central Pacific, with a stop along the way for breakfast.

The Croc Skywalk: giants of the Tárcoles River

Our first stop is the new Croc Skywalk, suspended over the iconic Tárcoles River — one of the country's best-known spots for observing American crocodiles in their natural habitat. From here, you can safely watch these impressive reptiles while learning about the ecosystem surrounding the river.

Manuel Antonio: where the rainforest meets the sea

Recognized by SINAC as the most visited protected wilderness area in the country. We'll explore its trails in search of sloths, monkeys, white-tailed deer, raccoons, coatis, and a wide variety of birds — the park is home to over 100 mammal species and hundreds of bird species.

Free time at the beach

After the hike, enjoy free time to relax on the beach within the park: stroll along the sand, take a swim in the ocean, or simply unwind against one of Costa Rica's most breathtaking backdrops.

We wrap up with lunch before heading back to San José.
