Rainmaker Conservation Park (Group Tour) – From Manuel Antonio

Guided Tour of Rainmaker Conservation Park

This is a guided tour of a beautiful nature reserve about 30 minutes from Manuel Antonio. Rainmaker Conservation Park is a great off-the-beaten path destination that sees fewer visitors than Manuel Antonio National Park.

With a knowledgeable naturalist guide, you will explore the reserve’s 2.5 km (1.5 mile) trail in search of wildlife like poison dart frogs, lizards, snakes, butterflies, and birds (Toucans, Manakins, Trogons, etc.). The trail cuts through lush primary forest (never been cut down) and has spectacular rainforest views. There are also several rustic hanging bridges that will give you a bird’s-eye view of the canopy.

Along the way, you’ll pass some waterfalls and natural pools where you can take a dip in the refreshing water.

The trail is easy to moderate in difficulty.

Rainmaker Park is one of our favorite places to hike in Costa Rica. It’s great for kids and adults alike.

This is also available as a private tour.
