Ideal for first-time visitors, travelers who unfortunately will not be able to find an entry ticket to visit the National Park (ONLY 1,500 available tickets per day), or those with limited time arriving at Manuel Antonio in the late afternoons (Manuel Antonio National Park closes entry at 2:30 p.m.) We invite you to learn and collaborate with the local wildlife and conservation that lives in the surrounding green areas of Manuel Antonio and Quepos communities (Urban Wildlife Hotspots) As locals and experienced certified tour guides, we have organically gained a clear understanding and knowledge on where and at what specific times animals habitually eat, sleep, bask, socialize, and even mate. Our city parks, hotel grounds, parking areas, roadsides, boardwalks, seawalls, and marinas are teeming with local wildlife. These green urban areas are extremely important in maintaining the successful network of wildlife corridors, supported by a system of animal crossing bridge projects.
