ELEONORE’S FAMILY TRIP TO
COSTA RICA.

8 NIGHTS/3 STOPS 

 

Wildlife watching, beach life and hiking. 

Costa Rica is a great destination with kids. Costa Rica is all about adventures, hiking, wildlife watching and beach life. People are very welcoming and it is very safe to travel with young children. We were able to mix long hikes with farniente. Costa rica is mostly known for its beaches volcanoes and biodiversity. Make sure you bring your binoculars, as you will try to spot spider monkeys and quetzal during your whole trip. Our budget for the whole trip was around $1670 per person for 8 nights (excluded food and activities) .
