From the Field: Costa Rica Vacations
At Austin-Lehman Adventures, our guests are our best ambassadors. Here’s an excerpt from one traveler’s journal about her Costa Rica family vacation:"The Costa Rica Family Adventure is a great trip. It was wonderful to see how much the kids got out of it. Once again the innovator, Austin-Lehman has done an excellent job of bringing adventure travel safely to the level of grade-school children."
~ Nancy Schretter, Editor, Family Travel Network – 2006 Family Adventure
Costa Rica Family Adventure
Your son nearly drops to the ground when a howler monkey, barely visible, lets out a shriek from a branch just overhead on a jungle trail in Tortuguero National Park. Your daughter can't believe her eyes when she counts fifteen scarlet macaws in the branches of an almond tree. Your palm still tingles from the enthusiastic high-fives! that ensue after successfully tackling the rapids on your rafting trip.
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 jungle trails and along a Caribbean beach in search of wildlife. Raft the playful and scenic Rio Pejibaye River. Horseback ride into the forest and across the grounds of an historic hacienda. And discover the nesting habits of Atlantic Green Sea Turtles during a nighttime beach walk (June – August)…or what it's like to attend a 3rd grade class in a small local school. Whether 5 or 75, this family vacation won't disappoint.

Distinctive Accommodations
7 days/6 nightsNights 1 & 2: Hotel El Rodeo
Hotel El Rodeo is set in tropical gardens with views of the spectacular Poas and Barva volcanoes. Enjoy the swimming pool, Jacuzzi and free wireless Internet connection.
Nights 3 & 4: Hacienda Casa TurireThis beautiful estate recalls the gracious charm of a colonial plantation home with the dramatic backdrop of the Turrialba Mountains.
Nights 5 & 6: Tortuga Lodge
This award-winning eco-lodge has spacious and airy riverfront rooms, a spring-fed pool, open-air dining room and hammocks hung in every nook.
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.
- For the chance to make a new friend: the 3rd graders we visit at Escuela Eslavon are as excited to learn about you as you are them.
- The turtles: stand quietly just a few feet from a 300-pound green sea turtle while she lays her eggs, covers up her nest and returns to the sea.
- The trivia: you'll come home with a head full of fun facts – like why the basilisk lizard (often seen in the canals of Tortuguero) is otherwise known as the "Jesus Christ" lizard.
