Costa Rica For The Family

Certain exceptional locations have been perennially popular with families visiting Costa Rica: the active Arenal volcano, the Quaker settlement of Monteverde with its cloud forests and canopy tours, and Manuel Antonio, where the verdant jungle meets the golden Pacific shore (here you have a hire 4x4 car). We have brought all these together into one classic programme, packed with things to do and see and using tried and trusted accommodation. You really can’t go wrong.

Lastly, travel to the dry forest zone of Nicoya and a well-run beach resort with great family villas, excellent food and friendly service. A fine recipe for good memories. Find out more...
