What Are Costa Rican Family Vacations Like?
by Dillon Patterson Article PublisherFinding the ideal place to enjoy a
family vacation can become complicated when you think of all the factors
involved: weather, activities for all ages, a variety of tourist attractions,
security, and accommodations, just to name a few. Well, let us introduce you to
Costa Rica, the destination that meets all of your travel needs and more!
This beautiful Central American
country boasts gorgeous beaches, lush rain forests, diverse cuisine, abundant
wildlife, and countless fun adventures, making it the perfect destination for travellers
of all ages. Plus, the locals are friendly, outgoing, and always ready to show
visitors a good time.
A Safe Country for Your Family
Costa Rica is a very safe country,
making it an attractive tourist destination, especially for families. While
many Central American countries struggle with high levels of gun and
gang-related violence, Costa Rica is the exception. At
most, you’ll want to keep an eye out for petty theft as you travel!
As with any destination, it is
important to take some common-sense precautions. General tips for staying safe
in Costa Rica include:
·
Avoid
carrying large sums of cash or wearing expensive jewellery.
·
Be
aware of your surroundings at all times and be especially cautious when walking
around at night.
·
We
recommend hiring a professional driver if you decide to rent a car. This is a
safer and more practical option, especially if you are riding with your kids.
The quality of drinking water is
another primary concern for many travellers, especially those with children in
tow. Luckily, Costa Rica has some of the cleanest drinking water in all of
Latin America. While you may want to stick to bottled water if you are
traveling in rural areas, you and your family can drink the tap water in the
more frequented areas of the country.
Family Adventures
Costa Rica is a fantastic
destination for visitors of all ages. If you are traveling with
children, you won’t want to miss the adventure activities available to you,
including ziplining, white-water rafting, surfing, and ATV touring. Experience
everything from lush rainforests to tropical beaches in this country of many
natural wonders! Here are some of our top recommendations for activities to
enjoy:
1. Go on a zipline and hang bridges
