Manuel Antonio - a tropical paradise

Buenas tardes,

Okay I promise in this blogpost there won't be rainy pics. I heard you have already seen enough rain in Belgium by now! (And I also promise I won't post a smiley here)

 

Before arriving in Manuel Antonio we made a quick stop at Playa Jaco. It’s also a surfer’s paradise.

Joke’s juice was far better than my salad, which literally just was salad! Luckily it only cost like 12 dollars …

Let's see what the sunny Manuel Antonio has to show you.

In the national park we came across an amazing variety of reptiles, mammals, reptiles…

This little lizard (should search for the specific name) was a hard one to find. Too bad I couldn’t get it completely sharp.

Find the sloth! We saw both the two-toed and three-toed.

 The cutest monkey I have ever seen, the squirrel monkey

Crabs with red legs

 

A fiery-billed aracari, very nice!

This is the Gaudy leaf frog, unfortunately sleeping and on the other side of the leaf…

Can you find this one?

 This is the boa constrictor hiding between logs of wood on the beach. Shot of the day, yes!!!

 The Jesus Christ lizard that can walk over water.

Manuel Antonio has 3 beaches, number 2 and 3 are inside the park, number 1 outside.

This is number 3

For those who don’t know how bananas grow. Nice detail, it takes 1,5 years to grow a banana!

As you can see Manuel Antonio has a huge variety of species. Next stop will be Drake bay with the Corcovado national park.

Hasta pronto,

Maria
