Villas Mymosa is located between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. Manuel Antonio is one of the most beautiful parks in Costa Rica. It is located on the Pacific Coast and can boast of its estuaries, mangroves, lagoons, beaches and its green footpaths. All this in 638 hectares of land and 55000 hectares of a protected marine atmosphere. You can take a stroll through the tropical forest and find ferns, mosses, flowers and other species growing in each tree. One of the paths takes you to an observation tower with a 360 degrees view that will take your breath away.

Throughout the park, you will find samples of wild life existing in the Costa Rican forests, for which our country has become famous.
Connoisseurs and professionals will allow the visitor to know many secrets of the forest, understand the habitat and the roll of each one of its inhabitants like animals, plants and insects.
Or just by following your logical eco-sense, you can enjoy the park in its entirety. The cariblancos monkeys are very accessible and they feel comfortable to approach and to watch you inquisitively, like hoping to be fed.

Pack a small knapsack with water and snacks and your day is made. There are fresh water baths and other facilities throughout the paths, with areas for picnic. You can also take short walks and stop to take a refreshing dive in Tercera Beach or Twin Beach.
Make sure to have your entrance seal which allows you to enter and to leave the park as many times as you wish in the day.
