Now we began a stay and the Los Suenos Marriott at Herradura Beach. Our final early morning bird walk with Guillermo was here and the trek led us along the local golf course.  It was also nice to relax for most of a day to catch up on photographs and rest.  It was from here that we ventured down the coast to Manuel Antonio National Park.  You MUST arrive early at this park as only 800 people are allowed in during the day so as to not over stress the animals.  This is where we saw Sloths, white faced monkeys, raccoons (yes, even here), and howler monkeys.  Wikipedia has great info on the park:  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Antonio_National_Park>.  Forbes listed this park as one of the most beautiful parks in the entire world.  High praise and worth visiting.
