Epic Mother‑Daughter Costa Rica Adventure
A mother and her teenage daughters enjoyed an epic, screen‑free adventure across Costa Rica. They trekked Monteverde’s misty cloud forest, hiked Arenal’s rainforest trails, and snorkeled the Pacific coast’s coral reefs on a catamaran cruise. Friendly local guides and vibrant village markets kept them engaged off‑screens, leaving the family with lasting memories of Costa Rica’s natural wonder and warm hospitality.
Places you'll stay
Alajuela & SJO Airport
Alajuela, nicknamed City of the Mangoes, is one of the most important cities in Costa Rica. It is the capital city of the providence bearing its name and is located just 11 miles northwest (17 km) of San Jose. Just outside of town is where you'll find the Juan Santamaria International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Santamaria), Costa Rica's principal airport.
Tortuguero
The Caribbean Coast is home to the beautiful town of Tortuguero and it's National Park. This sun drenched zone with its sparsely spaced coastal villages offers a completely laid back and relaxed atmosphere. The culture is vastly different on this coast compared to the rest of the country with its prominent Afro-Caribbean influence notable as well in the delicious cuisine found here.

The charming and welcoming town of La Fortuna is a perfect getaway for families, couples, and friends. The only requisite is that you love outdoor adventure! So if you can’t wait to spend your vacation in the fresh air, biking, kayaking, hiking, and more, then discover why the Arenal region is just what you need.
