Manuel Antonio is the crown jewel of Costa Rican National Parks, a tiny park with only about a one mile trail through the jungle. You hire a guide at the entrance, and they have telescopes which they carry and set up whenever an animal or insect is spotted. These are things that you would almost NEVER be able to see with the naked eye. You could walk through the park by yourself and not see a thing. The jungle is amazingly dense with seemingly invisible life, until they point out a sloth here, or a monkey there. We got some great photos by putting our camera up to the telescope lense.

Our squirrel monkey observation here? What our guide called “nature porn”.
