The guide in manual Antonio was great he really was enthusiastic about the national forest and all the animals he showed us.
Alec our driver was also great, funny and gave us a lot of information from restaurants and things to see in both manual Antonio and La Fortuna. We loved him . Costs Rica is beautiful, lots of adventures for all ages.
