点评:Our visit to Manuel Antonio National Park was great! We met our guide outside the park and went in together, however, one family in our group didn't have entrance tickets and this caused a 20 minute delay as we had to wait around until the guide arranged for tickets for them. We got our tickets through GetYourGuide, and they did send a WhatsApp message the night before to ensure we all secured our tickets.
Our guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information on the park, the wildlife and plants. He spotted wildlife hiding in the trees and we were able to view the animals through his scope. He also took photos, through the scope, that he shared with us at the end of the tour. It was a good use of our time, and without a guide we would not have seen all the wildlife he had spotted; so we wouldn't have appreciated this park as much as we did, if we didn't have a guide. However, I was expecting closer views of the wildlife I guess. The tour ended at 9:30am, (even though it was supposed to be 2.5hrs, and we didn't start until 8am), so that was disappointing. We then went exploring on our own.
We spent some time on the amazing Manuel Antonio Beach, and that's where we saw monkeys close up, and a huge iguana.
We then hiked Sendero Punta Catedral (easy), and Sendero Miradores (challending, lots of stairs). I wanted to hike more, but the other trails were closed.
We were out of the park a little before 3pm.
I would like to visit again on our next visit to Costa Rica, and spend more time on the beaches and hopefully get to hike the other trails.
翻译:我们这次曼努埃尔·安东尼奥国家公园之旅非常棒!我们在公园外与导游碰面,然后一起进入公园。不过,我们团里有一家人没有门票,所以我们不得不等了20分钟,直到导游帮他们弄到票。我们是通过GetYourGuide网站订的票,他们前一天晚上还发了WhatsApp消息,确保我们都拿到了票。
我们的导游知识渊博,给我们讲解了很多关于公园、野生动植物的知识。他发现了藏在树上的野生动物,我们通过他的望远镜观察了它们。他还用望远镜拍了一些照片,并在游览结束时分享给我们。这次旅行非常值得,如果没有导游,我们不可能看到他发现的所有野生动物;所以,如果没有导游,我们可能不会如此欣赏这座公园。不过,我原本期待能更近距离地观察野生动物。行程在上午9:30就结束了(虽然原定是2.5小时,而且我们8点才出发),这有点令人失望。之后我们开始自由探索。
我们在美丽的曼努埃尔·安东尼奥海滩待了一会儿,在那里我们近距离看到了猴子和一只巨大的鬣蜥。
之后我们徒步走了蓬塔卡特德拉尔步道(比较轻松)和米拉多雷斯步道(比较有挑战性,有很多台阶)。我还想多走几条,可惜其他步道都关闭了。
下午3点前我们离开了公园。
下次去哥斯达黎加的时候,我希望还能再来这里,多花些时间在海滩上,也希望能有机会走走其他的步道。
