Smilebikes

The combination between Manuel Antonio and the beautiful town of Villanueva, which we visited through its rural roads, allows us to enjoy nature in its pure state, due to its potential for flora observation, bird watching, wildlife, and water in its different forms such as waterfalls and rivers. This area is part of the last stage of the Costa Rica Trail, precisely because of these attractions.

Playa Biesanz

This beach is in a bay, so the water is usually very calm making it a great swimming beach. Also, there`s beach chairs, kayaks, SUPs and snorkel gear for rent. To walk there takes about 45 minutes or you can call a taxi who will drop you off at the entrance and then it`s just about a 10 minute jungle walk to the beach. We don`t recommend driving there because parking is limited, but if you really want to drive yourself, there is usually a parking attendant ($4).
