City information.
The school is located in the small town of Manuel Antonio which is part of the town of Quepos. These two towns are less than 100 miles from San José, on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Quepos, to the north, is a former banana shipping port and the current sports fishing mecca of Costa Rica. Manuel Antonio, on the other hand, is famous for its national park, beautiful beaches, scenic drive and luxurious accommodations.
Manuel Antonio is truly a different, tropical world. This fact is immediately apparent upon turning the last corner out of Quepos and starting up the hill south of town.
With the establishment of Manuel Antonio National Park in 1972, the people of Costa Rica decided to preserve for future generations one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse areas in the world. Although it is the country's smallest national park, the stunning beauty and diversity of wildlife in its 683 hectares is unequaled.
Manuel Antonio National Park contains numerous short trails, all of which are easily accessible and well maintained, and they tend to follow the coastline, supplying beautiful views and easy access to the picturesque white sand beaches.
