If you didn’t see as much wildlife in Costa Rica as you wanted, you didn’t go to the right places! Osa Peninsula is great, as you said, but both Arenal and Monteverde are too crowded to see much wildlife. And to see wildlife, you really have to hike “off the beaten path.” It’s all there – you just have to look for it. One option is to spend more time in one of the National Parks – they are all over the country. Glad you had a good time!
thanks for the comment Hattie. Regarding the wildlife, I was extremely impressed with it at the time. However having been to the Pantanal twice since then I can honestly say that it is much better than costa Rica, in terms of wildlife viewing.
There’s a ton of wildlife at Manuel Antonio National park and its easy to spot. The access to this park is very easy. I saw more wildlife in Manuel Antonio than in Corcovado National Park.
I had guides for both national parks and, because of this, would consider the playing field to be even. Three species of monkeys peeped at us in Manuel Antonio, while only one was visible in Corcovado.
