Manuel Antonio

On Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, Manuel Antonio combines lush rainforest, rich biodiversity, and pristine beaches in one compact and accessible destination. Its national park is home to sloths, monkeys, and exotic birds, giving students a close-up view of tropical ecosystems and conservation efforts. Guided hikes and educational tours reveal the delicate balance between tourism and environmental protection. Outside the park, students can engage with local communities, try sustainable farming practices, or learn about coastal geography through hands-on exploration. Manuel Antonio offers a powerful setting for connecting science, culture, and environmental awareness.
