A year-round tourism destination, Manuel Antonio abounds in beautiful beaches, tropical rainforests and an incredible variety of wildlife that attract sun-lovers, nature enthusiasts, deep-sea fishermen and those with an affinity for extreme sports. Manuel Antonio is also perfect for those in need of rest and relaxation. Internationally respected National Geographic magazine recognized this area of Costa Rica as one of the most biologically diverse in the world. In fact, bio-corridors known locally as "monkey highways" run throughout the area. With these corridors the monkeys travel up and down the coast by providing a linked rope-like system.
 Homes in La Reserva have the opportunity to be a part of this community-based effort and to have a unique monkey corridor near their home. In addition to many community-based efforts and nature preservation, the area offers a broad spectrum of activities, tours, fine restaurants, charming local cafes, bars, and of course, the natural beauty of the Manuel Antonio National Park. |
