Posted by Monkey Face in : Spring Break Activities , add a comment
What does Spring Break Costa Rica have that no other spring break destination does? Manuel Antonio National Park. Are you going to find monkey’s, crocodiles, sloths, caymans, toucans in South Padre Island? The beaches in Manuel Antonio National Park are some of the most beautiful in the world.
This is the place to take a break from partying, enjoy nature at it’s finest, and get back to your senses. Entrance into Manuel Antonio National Park is included in the Spring Break Costa Rica Package. The park has some really great hikes, with cliff views of Manuel Antonio and it’s beaches, as well as hike to a waterfall.
It’s best to enter Manuel Antonio National Park early in the morning if you plan to go hiking. Wear a swimsuit under your shorts and t-shirt, and bring a mask, if you plan to snorkel the reefs. Don’t forget water and bug lotion. The Park doesn’t sell food or water, so either pick-it up at the beach before you go in, or you can leave the park for lunch and then re-enter with your ticket.
Spring Break Costa Rica is proud to be able to offer it’s students Manuel Antonio National Park, as an experience they’ll always remember.

ATV Tours are only as good as the land they introduce you to and the equipment used to travel through it. Thru major exclusive alliances with landowners we have access to over 20,000 acres of unspoiled mountain property located in the Fila Chonta Mountain Range in the Central Pacific. We provide you with transportation to this land from our offices in downtown Quepos, which makes for a stress free safe tour. 
The land you arrive at is regarded as some of the most ecologically unspoiled rich land in Costa Rica. Your journey starts out at the foot of the mountains where you will travel up over 3000 feet high above Quepos and the Ocean past Quaint Villages, Palm and Teak Plantations, Talapia Farms, Roaring Mountain Streams and Primary Rain Forests with all the Biodiversity imagineable. You will go over the mountains, suspension bridges, and through the woods to arrive at one of four magnificent waterfalls where you can chill out swim and enjoy nature at its finest. Then its back down to sea level where your ride culminates at a magnificent Rancho where you will dine on Costa Rican Favorites as well as salads, fruits and deserts. Our tours are fully insured for your peace of mind.

Participate in Costa Rica’s signature tour! You will travel on suspension cables from platform to platform while enjoying The Humid Tropical Forest. These cables are specially designed by expert engineers who made it one of the most wonderful and exciting adventures in Costa Rica. Our clients are equipped with high tech harnesses to ensure their safety.
All of our professional, bilingual, guides are well educated in the wildlife and plantlife of the forest, and will happy to take you to the Primary and Secondary Forest where you can enjoy different types of animals, birds, insects and plants.
There are 16 platforms, four of which are built on the ground and 12 hanging 90 feet above it from the robust trees in the primary forest, with ages ranging from 100 to 200 years.
The construction of these platforms, which include stainless steel cables and metal platforms, allow them to hold 2000 pounds or 10 people each. The cables between platforms are 1/2 inch thick and strongly fixed to the trees which hold the platforms. We use harnesses only of the best brands which can hold up to 6,600 lbs. as well as the leach from which they hang from the rollers that slide through the cables.
When canopying through the rainforest, I usually see at least monkeys, sloths, and iguanas. It is an awesome and unique way to see the rainforest!

Pool Bar Menu March 3, 2007
Posted by Monkey Face in : Spring Break Food Reviews , add a commentA little debate is raging as to what should be included on the pool bar menu. I say go for Chips and Dips and keep it simple. Matt is more inclined to offer a full dinner menu, with candles, and a Mariachi Singer thrown in.
What do y’all think?

Every Night of the Week February 27, 2007
Posted by admin in : Spring Break Nightlife , add a commentPoohbear and I are on a mission to fill the world in on the never-ending party scene of Manuel Antonio.
It’s non-stop here… non-stop! Every night of the week there is always a place to create a ruckus and party throughout the night.
Ladies night. Never fails. There is always a ladies night somewhere in the world and here in Manuel Antonio there’s one to be found every night of the week. Does anyone know what that means? Free drinks for the ladies…tons and tons of free drinks, for all the beautiful women who frolic to Manuel Antonio.
If ladies and free drinks aren’t your thing, don’t worry there’s always live music night, reggae night, salsa night, dance on the bar night, party on the beach until the sun comes up night- or morning, and what the hell did I do last night?…nights.

Forget Fast Food- Eat a Casado February 26, 2007
Posted by admin in : Spring Break Food Reviews , add a comment
Nothing beats a Casado. It’s the best deal- food wise- that you can find in Costa Rica. There is no other meal that’s as tasty, filling and cheap.
A typical Casado comes your choice of meat (fish, pork, or beef)- vegetarian dishes are also available-white rice, flavorful beans, palatable potatoes, a golden fried plantain, and a healthy side salad.
What’s a full plate like this cost? Usually 1500 colones, which is cheaper than buying three items on McDonald’s dollar menu… not to mention healthier.

Do monkeys really like bananas? February 26, 2007
Posted by admin in : Spring Break Activities , add a commentYes! Another post about monkeys…they’re just so damn awesome.
In Costa Rica it’s recommended that you don’t feed the monkeys. Reason being- they can become too dependent on humans and there is the possibility of them becoming overly aggressive. That has to be the case with every wild animal…right?
However, opportunities do arise here in Manuel Antonio that you just can’t pass up. I’m not encouraging you to go searching for our hairy amigos just to feed them, but if you have some extra fruit that your not going to eat, and you have the choice of throwing it away or giving it to a moocher with a tail, I would choose the latter.
The posted picture is of yours truly handing off a left over banana from lunch to a White-Faced Capuchin (White Faced Monkey). It was a totally new and exciting experience that will never be forgotten. It also reaffirmed my belief that monkeys are cool ass creatures.
So…do monkeys like bananas? Hell freakin yes! Almost as much as Poohbear and I love Imperial…almost.
Puravida!
