Why Costa Rica is Perfect For Your Next Family Vacation

by Dillon Patterson Article Publisher

Costa Rica vacations are great for more than simple thrill seekers. A Costa Rica family vacation can be jam packed with great experiences, memories to last a lifetime, ease of planning, cost savings, and a world of adventure without actually traveling to the other side of the world!

Think for a moment about what matters most to you when you’re planning a family vacation.

What came to mind first? Proximity to home? Cost of flights? Experiencing multiple ecosystems all in one place, without having to travel all the way around the world? Good news: A Costa Rica vacation fits all these bills.

COSTA RICA: EXPERIENCE IT ALL, CLOSER TO HOME THAN YOU’D THINK

Part of traveling is to experience something you’ve never experienced before. That could mean going to the next town over, or all the way around the globe. A Costa Rica vacation offers the sights and sounds of “far away” exotic places while still being easily accessible.

Mountains, jungles, beaches, and unique animals all wait for you in Costa Rica – and it only takes about as much time to travel there as a basic Caribbean vacation would take!

Stunning beaches are well within reach on these family vacations – for relaxing, playing, and helping. A Protecting the Pacific trip, for example, will find you nestled in a community between a breath-taking ocean reserve and mountains – enjoying the incredible scenery, while helping to preserve valuable whale breeding and feeding grounds.

Sloths, monkeys, whales, dolphins, seals, birds, and marine animals alike are just some of the fascinating and beautiful creatures you can see during a Costa Rica family vacation.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WITH FEWER INTERNATIONAL WORRIES

International travel can present its own set of risks – from crime and safety, to safe drinking water, to accessing your ultimate destination and beyond.

Like any destination, Costa Rica is not crime-free. The good news is, the vast majority of foreign visitors do not become victims of crime. Crime related to tourism here is typically petty theft. Having situational awareness, locking car doors, room doors, and safes, and keeping your travel documents safe at all times are recommended measures to take to prevent being targeted. Keep these tips in mind when traveling to any country or unfamiliar area.

Another international vacation concern can be water quality. Is the water safe to drink? While some people will tell you to drink bottled water at all times in any foreign country, the water in Costa Rica has been found to be safe to drink.

Figuring out transportation to and from the airport in foreign destinations can also be daunting. Not here. You don’t need to worry about the cost or coordination of transportation to and from the airport. It’s included in your Costa Rica vacation!

COME AWAY WITH A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCES AND MEMORIES

When you return from your Costa Rica family vacation, you’ll have more memories than you’ll know what to do with! Perhaps you’ll recall some of the moments below!

Experience a place known to be the “happiest country on earth.”
