Highly recommend Alonso 1000% - Diego connected us with Alonso for our tour guide and my sister and I had an amazing time at Manuel Antonio National Park. Alonso was hilarious and had us laughing the entire time but he was also so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the land and the animals. We saw 2 sloths carrying babies, birds, monkeys, iguanas, spiders, toucans, porcupines, and so much more. Alonso told us stories and kept us entertained. It is true what they say that you need a guide. The guides know where to look for the animals, as they often camouflage with trees and other things to protect themselves against predators. The guides also have special equipment that they use to spot animals that are far away. They are also knowledgeable enough to keep you safe during your journey. Do yourself a favor and book an unforgettable experience!

Recommend Alanzo As Your Tour Guide ~ - My sister and I visited the park and had Alanzo as our guide. Wow! What an experience. I thought originally we don’t need a guide, and that we would see animals on our own. No, not the case — we absolutely needed an experienced tour guide, and now I can truly say I wouldn’t have been able to see 100% of the animals we spotted. So grateful he has 10 years of experience touring. The amazing animals we saw were 2 different mama sloths with their babies (rare), toucans, porcupines, spider moneys and iguanas. So incredible to see nature in its natural habitat and the parks eco system living their best life. The complete opposite to “zoo’s” in the US. The animals in Manuel Antonio National Park are happy and actually want to be seen frolicking in the wild. However, our guide explained how each animal has evolved and adapted to be camouflaged to protect themselves from predators. Lastly, we were able to grab a bite to eat, to drink (I got an organic green juice, yum!) and go to look at the parks souvenirs. There were restrooms, changing areas and places to get drinking water. Bring a non-plastic refillable bottle!!!! If you forget, you can drink from the watering stations throughout the park, and the water was clean, and fresh. Also, just after the tour we headed to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and in my opinion — ever. White sand, clear blue water, rainforests, mountains, monkeys and beautiful sunshine. Paradise ~ Highly - HIGHLY recommend Alanzo as your tour guide. Kind, hilarious, lively, intuitive, knowledgeable, and such a vast understanding and keen sharp shooter sight of the park. We saw so many animals, which was rare but easily missed with the naked eye. 11/10 would recommend

Animals and trails - Diego was phenomenal! He has a very sharp eye and is very knowledgeable. We saw lots of sloths. He also pointed us in the direction to hike and beach afterwards.

Visit to manuel Antonia park - So good, saw a baby Sloth, and other Sloths and monkeys, lizards, birds our guide Andreas, clearly knows his wildlife and plants and loves this park. So glad we went.

Animal-rich hike - We had an unforgettable hike with Diego, who with his knowledge and charm directly captured our hearts. Thanks to Diego we have seen many animals and learned a lot! It was a great experience! Thank you, dear Diego, and all the love from Alex & Rabea from Germany

Luis Alonso guide - Luis is a top guide and the organization to meet us. His visit was very interesting because complete between fauna and flora. Fun, participatory and humorous visit Luis has struggled to make us discover as many animals and explain their rites, their habitats etc... we highly recommend

Amazing experience! Stop searching and book with Diego!! - This tour is absolutely wonderful, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We saw SO much more than if we’d gone by ourselves. Diego is an amazing guide - super knowledgeable from the animals to the plants and insects, he got us great pictures. We learned so much. Cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you Diego!!!

Amazing ! - Diego was an excellent tour guide and we were able to see so many amazing species! Highly recommended this tour with him!

Unmatched animal experience - Fantastic national park and fantastic tour guide. The forest is almost untouched, apart from the paths to see animals. There were loads of animals all the time, sloths, toucans, giant grasshoppers, monkeys, crabs etc and Diego knew all the facts about them and the park as well. His jokes were pretty good too!

Our guide, Gustavo was a... - Our guide, Gustavo was a good spotting animals and had a good telescope to see the animals very well. He allowed everybody to have time to take a good look at animals and take photos with own phones. You basically have to join a tour to fully enjoy animals in Manuel Antonio. It's very hard to spot with untrained eyes and without a good telescope. The entry tickets to the park online were sold out. It seems only tour agencies have entry tickets unless you booked in a well advance. I usually prefer not to join a tour but I am glad we did. We learned a lot and spotted a couple of sloths, monkeys, birds, iguanas, lizards, etc. Enjoyed the tour very much.
