Whether you’re looking for adventure or a relaxing getaway with family in tow, Costa Rica is the perfect destination spot for everyone to enjoy. This is more than just a chance to see the tropics. Costa Rica’s unique biodiversity and dedication to the environment makes it an ideal place to learn about conservation, the environment, and how much fun can be found in the midst of nature. It’s the perfect destination for discovering a passion for wildlife, adventure, or the natural world.
With so much to see and do, from adventures to relaxing, your family is sure to enjoy every minute!
Sitting between the Pacific and Caribbean Oceans, Costa Rica features innumerable activities and resorts that cater to the whole family. Miles of coastline and acres of protected land makes it no wonder that Costa Rica stays at the forefront of adventure. Each beach offers a distinct personality – from Playa Conchal’s pink-hued waterfront made up of millions of crushed seashells to the white sand and palm trees found along the Caribbean. The very diversity of the country, ranging from the misty cloud forests and tropical rainforests to the arid rolling hills of Guanacaste, brings variety no matter the activity – you could horseback ride every day of your vacation, and still discover something new in each destination.
