Costa Rica is an ideal tourist destination. It is most diverse and is considered safe and friendly. It has everything: spectacular rainforests, volcanoes, hot springs, exotic beaches and surfing beaches, animal encounters in the wild, abundant options for recreational activities, and attractions for every age, from the young and the restless to families with young children. Everything is green and tropical and looks just like heaven. There are over 1,000 kinds of birds and over 10,000 species of plants.
Most people vacationing in Costa Rica tend to move hotels every 2-3 nights in order to see the different tourist areas in this fascinating country. However, for the travelling family I recommend using the method of “star trips” – Staying in one hotel at a central location for an extended period and from there going to attractions in every direction no farther than two hours away by car. For instance, if you come to Costa Rica for 10 days, your time is best divided into 6 nights in the centre of the country and 4 nights on the Pacific Ocean shore, near Manuel Antonio National Park.
In this article you will find an example itinerary for 12 Days tour in the beautiful Costa Rica:
The general plan: San Jose – Tortuguero - Lands in love – Arenal – Monteverde – Manuel Antonio
This is the winning combination for families looking for some exotic vacationing among nature and animals, as well as some fun and action. You can have all this in just three lodging places – all of them unique and quite pampering – very few moves and long drives, and only one flight mid-trip, less than three hours long.
