The rain of course.&nbsp; If you want to visit Manuel Antonio, you will get a lot less of the rain between December and March.&nbsp; December to March you are not as likely to get wet, but that does not necessarily mean that it is the best time to visit. The peak or &#8220;dry&#8221; season also brings more crowds and higher prices.&nbsp; May and November are transition months, but tend to be much less crowded and a healthy mix of rain and sunshine.&nbsp; Be sure to avoid Easter\/ Semana Santa when everyone from the interior flocks to the beaches for a week long camping trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The average temperatures in Manuel Antonio are pretty consistent.&nbsp; Typically mid 20&#8217;s Celsius, or Mid to upper 70&#8217;s Fahrenheit.&nbsp; I like to use this handy&nbsp;<a title=\"Manuel Antonio Costa Rica FAQs | Quick Guide to Manuel Antonio Costa Rica\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holiday-weather.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tool<\/a> to plan my vacations to places I am unfamiliar with.&nbsp; Keep in mind the humidity is a huge factor in the actual temperature vs. the &#8220;feels like&#8221; temperature.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How far is Manuel Antonio from San Jose?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Manuel Antonio is just over a 3 hours\u2019 drive from San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica\u2019s capital city and the Juan Santamaria International Airport.&nbsp; Although Jaco is the closest beach destination, Manuel Antonio is well worth the extra hour drive south.&nbsp; This is where Costa Rica&#8217;s rainforest becomes most dense with wildlife. Just ask the 3 types of monkeys that call Manuel Antonio home.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do I get to Manuel Antonio?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can arrive to Manuel Antonio practically from any corner of Costa Rica.&nbsp; Whether renting a car, taking a shuttle or even public transportation, traveling by land is by far the easiest and most convenient way to get to Manuel Antonio.&nbsp; As we mentioned, Manuel Antonio is only 3 hours from San Jose, but it is also a stunning picturesque drive from both the Arenal Volcano and the Monteverde cloud forest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Independent traveler wanting to drive yourself?

Bambu Jam is popular for Salsa Dancing and Cumbia.&nbsp; Sal Si Puedes and Barba Roja are popular live music venues and the local talent is pretty darn good.&nbsp; If you want sports, Byblos is THE place to be.

Manuel Antonio National Park is open to the public from 7:00am to 4:00pm daily except Mondays.&nbsp; The current entrance fee is $16 per person over the age of 12, but be sure to look it up just before you come for the most accurate pricing.&nbsp; There is now a limit of the number of people that they will allow into the park daily, so you will need to show up early. Weekends tend to be a bit more crowded with national tourism.&nbsp; The beaches within the parks boundaries are absolutely pristine and stunning, so be sure to take a bathing suit, towel and maybe a good book for some great chill time in nature.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What else is there to do in Manuel Antonio besides the National Park?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Um&#8230;A LOT!!!&nbsp; Manuel Antonio National Park may be the highlight of this region, however there are a ton of different activities for all ages.
