Description
Manuel Antonio National Park, on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, encompasses rugged rainforest, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. It’s renowned for its vast diversity of tropical plants and wildlife such as these white-throated capuchin monkeys. Unfortunately, they have learned that tourists mean food and thus have lost much of their fear of man. This monkey was hopping around the tourists and on the picnic tables, hoping for a handout from someone. . .or looking for something to steal.
