Manuel Antonio - Ocean Resort and Wildlife
Our Pacific Ocean destination is a painting of white sandy beaches and unspoiled natural paradise for nature lovers and students from all over the world. Manuel Antonio National Park has some of the best beaches on Costa Rica's coastline for swimming and snorkeling. The park is also wonderful for short walks or full-day hikes.
This park is combination of rain forests, beautiful white sandy beaches abounding in flora and fauna and great views. You can see howler, squirrel, and white-faced monkeys; two-toed sloths, coatimundis, raccoons, iguanas and over 350 species of birds and other animal species. In Manuel Antonio, the mountains meet the ocean. It is paradise!
Near the Natural Park you will find the village of Quepos, a small town close to Manuel Antonio beach. There to keep in touch with civilization you will find few stores; a small market, bars, restaurants, banks and some travel agencies. There are no shopping malls or big stores.
The Language School in Manuel Antonio
In Manuel Antonio we recommend:
Costa Rica Spanish Institute (COSI).
COSI is located on a hill and has breath taking views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and it's only 2 miles away from the beach. Our school is across the street from the Manuel Antonio public school. It has excellent facilities to make you feel at home. We have no doubt you will meet new friends since our students come from all over the world. Enjoy!!
