Wildlife in Manuel Antonio National Park

Manuel Antonio National Park's small area (6.83 km²) holds 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 three monkey species found in the park, 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 encounters is our ICT-certified naturalist guides with 14+ years of experience in Manuel Antonio. After thousands of hours on these trails, they can 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 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 looking for 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.
