On the way to the Park before seeing the public beach area... in the main road there might be people trying to pull you over (they literally throw themselves to your car) a simple "No gracias, I already have my tour guide at the entrance waiting for me" will work, then continue heading to the GPS location.
After you leave this people behind (about 100 mts) you'll start to see the public beach on the right hand side, then you'll need to turn left.. continue driving in the paved road.. 100mts more you'll see a Y-Intersection please turn to the right immediately you will pass by a little "costa rican style" bridge (one line for cars only) then there will be more people trying to offer to park your vehicle in their properties continue driving for 50mts after this bridge and then you'll have PRIVATE and SECURE parking available for your vehicle on the right hand side (is the only one in the right hand side with a BIG SIGN black color with yellow letters that says MANUEL ANTONIO PARKING)
If you miss this parking lot there is one more 50mts ahead in the left hand side also very secure, this one is next to the Joseth Supermarket, very important you need to pay the parking to the person in charge of the parking lot area.. because this is not included in the price of the tour and the parking lot areas are not part of our company or the National Park facilities.
***VERY IMPORTANT*** you must park your vehicle before getting to the GPS location (Park main entrance).. because if you get straight to the Park main entrance you'll have to turn around and look for the closer parking lot area, in the same way your guide is gonna be there and definitely will help you in case you need it.
