Day 9 in Costa Rica: Sabedo, 22 Mayo 2010
Today we traveled to Manuel Antonio. When spent the first 5 hours here in the National Park. We saw 2 –toed sloths, white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, and several species of lizards and other creatures. After lunch, several from our group took a second hike to a beach area. I spent a couple of hours on the beach and visited the shops. The beach is so different from “my beach”. The mountain literally drops off into the sea. There are big rocks on the beach and just off shore. There was a small stream/river that was flowing into the ocean at one end. Green turtles and some others lay their eggs at Manual Antonio. We had been warned that they monkeys come down to the beach and steal personal items…food, cameras, bookbags, etc. I did not see any monkeys on the beach today! The area offers many tours and activities: iguana tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, etc.
We spent Saturday night in a villa (Villas Nicolas?). They were fully equipped apartments with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean! They have a “jungle path” that leads down to the beach, but it was closed. On top of the villas, there is a restaurant and bar called Aqua Azul. Look it up…..it has a breath taking view!
