Where else in the world besides Monteverde can you explore a cloud forest while on vacation? It’s what keeps families coming to this kid-friendly region of Costa Rica. The animal spotting opportunities here are some of the best in the world — all kinds of creatures, from jaguars to ocelots to quetzals, call this region home. Aspiring zoologists and devout animal lovers will enjoy the spectacular canopy walking trails that take you high into the trees. Choosing where to stay is easy; our favorite kid-friendly property here combines lovely service, an excellent onsite restaurant and a gorgeous garden.

Coronavirus Update

This is a challenging time for our clients given the uncertainty around the spread of coronavirus, particularly for those with near-term travel plans in impacted areas. We’re working with our suppliers on being flexible with their booking conditions, and enabling families to postpone travel to a later date without a penalty, when possible. Likewise, given the unpredictability around destinations that may be impacted in the future, we’re helping clients planning new trips and understand ways that they can protect themselves until the situation improves. We are ready to help our clients work through questions and concerns.
