Yesterday we did some combination of a variety of things: explored Quepos or Manuel Antonio or both, relaxed in or around the pool at our hotel, or sat on the balcony and read.
Today all of us went to Manuel Antonio National Park. We hiked for about twenty-five minutes until we came across a beautiful white sand beach at the edge of the rain forest. The water was a perfect temperature, enabling us to comfortably wade right in. Being in somewhat of bay, this is not a surfing beach and it had just the right size waves to enjoy.
A family of three white-faced monkeys put on quite a show in some trees at the edge of the beach. We also saw iguanas, a sloth, and a variety of crabs.
After being there for a couple of hours and while trying to decide which trail to take next, true to its name, it began began to rain. We took the shortest route out and took taxis or a public bus back to our hotel.
Tomorrow, we will be moving to a hotel right across from the beach and adjacent to the entrance to the national park. Here is the contact information:
Hotel Manuel Antonio
506 2777-1237 or 506 2777-1351
hotelmanuelantonio@racsa.co.cr
I am not sure about internet access at that hotel, so don't be surprised if there are no new entries until we arrive on late Wednesday afternoon at the Orquideas Inn in Alajuela as previously planned.
