Now it was time to hit the Pacific coastline in Costa Rica.
Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio National Park was by far my favourite in Costa Rica. Exploring this piece of paradise along the Pacific coastline in Costa Rica was incredible. Luckily, for us, the rain kept at bay as we aimously wandered through the plush jungle. This national park has it all from jungle to beaches which comes with an abundance of wildlife to spot.
There was an abundance of spider monkeys swinging around the treetops. These were easy to spot without a guide. I would say a guide is not needed here as a budget traveller as you can easily spot wildlife. Also, when you see a tour guide huddled together, you know they are looking at something of significance.
Nauyaca Waterfall on the Pacific Coastline in Costa Rica
Nauyaca waterfall is a must. This waterfall is beautiful. We decided on the the 6km walk there and back hike as the cost for this was $10, and you know by now that I am a budget traveller therefore this was the cheapest option. The hike itself was a struggle a constant of up and downs feeeling liek it was never going to end. Yet, the pain of the hike (if you aren’t used to hiking )
Playa Dominical on the wild Pacific coast
This quiet surf beach village is perfect spot for you to catch some waves
