Costa Rica Day 6: Nature Walk

When we went to Breakfast in the morning some of our family members who had been there for a while told us there was a large group of monkeys that came through the courtyard. We were sad to have missed it, how cool. All those monkeys just parading through the courtyard.

After breakfast we went to Manuel Antonio National Park for a guided nature tour. It was pretty cool. Our tour guide said it was one of the top 5 national parks in the world. I would have to agree, it was so incredibly beautiful.

We saw a lot of really neat flowers, birds and other small animals. We even saw several Tucans but they were to fast flying to catch a picture of them.
Three-Toed Sloth

Red-Eyed Tree Frog. Since they are nocturnal this is what they look like in the day when they are sleeping and trying the blend in....
This is of course what they look like at night when they are awake and hopping around.
I love this picture. This is a two toed tree sloth. Isn't he adorable.
When we got to the beach area of the park there were tons of monkeys hanging out on the trees and everything. It was like a scene from a movie. I kind of went on a picture taking frenzy. But these guys are just way to cute.













(These are bats)

This was honestly one of my favorite places I have ever been. It was like a little piece of Heaven on Earth. I was lucky that we were able to come back for some beach time later on in the afternoon.
