Manuel Antonio is about 6 miles from the main town of Quepos. We stayed at La Posada Jungle Bungalows. It is literally right next door to Manuel Antonio National Park.
Our bungalow is the middle one.
Here's the inside.
Tropical sculptures around the pool.
The pool.
Hanging out.
Since La Posada is so close to the national park, we spotted several critters on the premises.
One morning we awoke to some loud scratching on our roof. We went on the roof deck access and saw this handsome guy sunning himself.
See that long striped tail? This raccoon was quietly checking out our sunbathing neighbor then he came down the steps and vanished into the forest.
This is Mr. Macho and Ms. Pogan. Resident birds of La Posada.
This is Ms. Pogan. Mr. Macho is sorta mean and acting very macho at the moment so we left him in the cage.
Squirrel monkeys visiting the main dining area. They check out what we're eating for breakfast.
Awww, wook at me standing here in the rain. Ain't I cute? Could you pass me a banana?
Capuchin monkeys also visit the place.
Rocking chair and a sweaty kid.
Swimming while raining.
This is were we land after a day of sightseeing.
I woke up early and having breakfast on the porch. Howler monkeys also reside in the national park next door. They howl and growl in the mornings, so they are pretty much our alarm clocks.
