Just north of Manuel Antonio National Park, the Isla Damas mangrove estuary is a winding network of tidal channels where rainforest meets the sea. Row narrow waterways under tangled roots and leafy canopies, spotting monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and the “Jesus Christ lizard” skimming across the surface. These mangroves protect the coast, nurture marine life, and support Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity.
