Wildlife in Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio National Park's small area (6.83 km²) conceals one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in all of Central America. In a single morning walk with an expert guide, you might encounter two- and three-toed sloths, all four Costa Rican monkey species, green iguanas, basilisk lizards (the famous "Jesus Christ lizard"), scarlet macaws, toucans, dozens of bird species, and if you're lucky, a boa constrictor or fer-de-lance.
The key to these extraordinary encounters is our ICT-certified naturalist guides with 7+ years of experience in Manuel Antonio. They've spent thousands of hours on these trails and have developed the ability to spot a sleeping three-toed sloth camouflaged 10 meters overhead, or a motionless Jesus Christ lizard on a branch indistinguishable from the bark beneath it.
Our 80–90% wildlife sighting rate — the percentage of tours where guests encounter the most iconic species — is a direct result of this expertise. Wildlife tours in Manuel Antonio with untrained guides or on self-guided walks typically see 20–30% of the wildlife that our expert-led tours encounter.
Whether you're specifically hunting all the park's wildlife or focused on seeing a specific species like sloths or monkeys, our wildlife tours deliver the encounters you came to Costa Rica for.
