Family Explorer: Volcano, Rainforest & Beach
Three classic Costa Rican settings, gentle enough for younger children. You start around the Arenal volcano with waterfalls and zip-lining, move to the Monteverde cloud forest for wildlife in the treetops, and finish at Quepos and Manuel Antonio, where the small national park is one of the surest places to spot sloths and monkeys, with beaches right alongside.
Highlights: Arenal waterfalls and zip-lines, Monteverde wildlife, sloths and beaches at Manuel Antonio.
Best for: families with younger kids who want variety without long travel days.
