Costa Rica offers families an incredibly lush and exotic environment for a kid-friendly trip to remember. It has some of the world’s best adventure activities, like zip lining, ATV tours, waterfall rappelling and whitewater rafting. When it’s time to relax, the beautiful, crystal clear cerulean waters at the Costa Rica beaches beckon. Vibrant animal spotting opportunities — monkeys, sloths, toucans, frogs and more — will please even the tiniest members of the family and ensure a Costa Rica vacation belongs on your bucket list. This small country thrives on tourism; the kid-friendly accommodations range from luxurious beachfront hotels to treetop bungalows deep in the rainforest, and offer all the amenities for that “pura vida” vibe found only in this small, eco-conscious country in Central America.
