Our Summer in Costa Rica, June 2010

This blog is for family and friends of the St. Pius X group who wish to follow us on our journey through Costa Rica's Cloud forests, along its spectacular beaches, on our excursion to the breathtaking Fortuna waterfalls, and with us through our homestay experience in the quiet, rural town of Nicoya, which is the cultural center on the Nicoyan Peninsula.

The "JEWEL" of Costa Rica - Manuel Antonio

Popular because of its white sand beaches backed by an evergreen forest that grows right up to the high tide line, Manuel Antonio has quite the varied fauna with 109 species of mammals and 184 species of birds. The park includes 12 little islands just off the coast, where dolphins and, at times, migrating whales can be observed.
