This was definitely the right decision, as when we got to the waterfall the other side was so crowded compared to the Nature Park. We went to the newer side of the waterfall nature park to avoid the crowds at the first entrance spot you see. The guide was fantastic: he took great pics for us through binoculars. As for the park, except for the boa and passion flower, we saw no new plants & animals from what we saw in Manuel Antonio, but the landscape in Corcovado is different and remarkable. Save yourselves the trouble and go straight to the Perla del Sur or another tour operator in Corcovado, instead of arranging tours via middlemen. For that he expected $30/person, which led to a long, unpleasant discussion at the end of the tour because, even with this commission on top of the official price, we were still off the chart of the official price list.

That guide did nothing but mention that Corcovado is with visiting and tell his colleagues in Corcovado that we may visit. We took a really nice tour with these guys (saw a big boa, sloths, passion flower and a host of other interesting animals and plants) BUT were disappointed when they asked us at the end to pay, on top of the official price, the alleged commission that we had agreed to with another tour guide from Manuel Antonio who referred us to Corcovado.

Precio Neto is the column you're interested in.

Below is the official price list of one of the operators. Worth visiting if you're around BUT watch out for rip-off tour operators.
