In the central part of the Pacific coastline in Costa Rica, there is a unique piece of land best known as Manuel Antonio. This National Park has a natural extension called Punta Catedral. There was no connection with the place in the past, so it was more like an independent island. However, throughout her constantly active tectonic plate system, mother nature created a path that put together both the island and mainland, giving people the possibility to explore and get to know more about this particular latitude.
The path of Punta Catedral’s protected area has become a way for visitors to hike and learn about the plant and animal life unique to the concept of a tropical rainforest. Visitors will likely find many mammals that inhabit the place, such as three different species of monkeys, two and three-toed sloths, snakes, and several kinds of lizard and bird species.
The views from the summit of this 300 feet (ASL) paradise will permit anyone to get spectacular pictures. As the trail begins the descent, the cool breeze will reward anyone who took the challenge to go beyond the idea of Manuel Antonio as only a place to swim.
Suppose you have asthma or have difficulty traversing many steps, we do not recommend taking this trail. In that case, the place is humid, even on cloudy days, so do not forget a bottle of water so you can stay hydrated while on your tropical adventure.
