Costa Rica Coastlines to Cloudforests Family Adventure
It's day three of your Costa Rica family trip. Your daughter holds her breath as she cradles a giant blue morpho butterfly in her palm. Your son can't believe his eyes when he counts fifteen scarlet macaws in the branches of an almond tree. Your heart races as you catch your first wave in a surf lesson; Costa Rica offers great family vacations.
Welcome to Costa Rica – a land of unspoiled scenic beauty and protected ecological habitat, and one of the world's most family-friendly destinations. Hike past thundering waterfalls along rain and cloud forest trails teeming with monkeys and exotic birds. Raft the playful and scenic Reventazon River rapids and horseback ride through coffee-country with panoramic views of the Turrialba Valley. Stroll pristine beaches and wind your way by boat through protected mangrove in search of caiman, crocodiles, rainbow boas and egrets in Manuel Antonio National Park. When night falls, savor the finger-licking flavors of authentic Costa Rican cuisine and relax and recharge in the comfort of your beautiful jungle lodge, plantation-style casa or eco-friendly beach hotel. What more can you wish for from great family vacations?

A few more reasons why you've gotta go:
- The monkeys: they're everywhere! There's nothing quite like seeing (or hearing) one leap from tree to tree right above your head.
- Where else can you stand perfectly still as a hummingbird eats from your hand?
- The butterflies: learn about the lifecycle of nearly 1,000 species of butterflies.
- For a good gallop! If you're comfortable with it, let you steed loose and listen to the thunder of hooves beneath you as you gallop through coffee-country and sugar cane terrain.
