A family trip to Costa Rica

The original idea

The idea behind the articles to follow Family trips to Costa RicaThis is the result of our enthusiastic feedback from travelers and our desire, as trip designers, to share the beauty of Costa Rica with the whole family. So we decided to take our two daughters on a typical 10-day trip, adapted to children and synonymous with a vacation for parents. So it was with great pleasure that we got down to the task of building our own trip, as we advise travelers day after day on their desires, the "star" destinations, the most suitable seasons, etc.... This time we had to think about our children, their pace, their desires (and ours).

Itinerary

So we decided to start with the Caribbean coast with Tortuguero and its canals running through the rainforest, then the atmosphere of the South Caribbean and the villages of Cahuita and Puerto Viejo de Limon. We felt it was essential to visit the Bribri community, with whom we've known for a long time and with whom we've forged strong bonds of friendship. Once we had a glimpse of the south-east, we headed for La Fortuna and Arenal volcanoThen it's off to the beaches: first Carillo, Samara, then Nosara. We also want to try out the new concept of glamping, camping in converted tents. We'll then head down to the central Pacific and the villages of Dominical and Uvita to see the humpback whales. Finally, we'll end our trip in the remote village of San Gerardo de Dota, where we'll be hoping to catch a glimpse of the magnificent Resplendent Quetzal. I hope you'll travel with us on our adventures, and that one day you too will be able to experience the same wonderful adventures with your children as we did. Pura Vida.
