Manuel Antonio National Park & Curu Wildlife Refuge
A colorful sunrise found us anchored in front of the Manuel Antonio National Park, a piece of land blessed by the unique forest and the warm waters of the tropical Pacific coast.
The Sloth’s Valley and Cathedral Point trails were our two options for the morning. We walked on a tombolo formation, an ancient island that is now part of the mainland. Ups and downs through a diverse forest that hosts, amongst others, both white faced monkeys as well as howler monkeys, the latter announcing their presence in the distance. It was proved that the Sloth’s Valley deserves its name, as a couple of two-toed sloths and one female three-toed sloth with its young performed for us.
It is great to enjoy a beautiful beach where everything around you is rainforest. Then we sailed up to the Nicoya Peninsula, where we reached the Curu Wildlife Refuge. Once we arrived the howler and white-faced monkeys greeted us again, reminding us that they can still survive if we give them a territory to live in where they can interact with nature. We couldn’t ask for a better farewell: the roseate spoonbills showed up one more time so could remember that Mother Nature is beauty, charm, art…
Thanks for having joined us in this amazing Expedition, hope to see you again!
