Travelling in Costa Rica with Kids

Not far from the capital city of San Jose, you will find Manuel Antonio. This small settlement offers direct access to the eponymous national park. Enjoy hiking through the park with your kids, keeping a lookout for monkeys, raccoon, and birds. Don't forget to bring along a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the animals. The sloths are quite difficult to spot, the perfect challenge to keep your kids happily occupied. After your hike, stop off at Espadilla Sur Beach, one of the major beaches in the park. With white sands and warm waters, it's the perfect place to enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and surfing with your kids. Alternatively, go fishing at Quepos Port. There are plenty of fish for you to catch here with your children.

With five pristine beaches, the village of Nosara is a beloved destination for families. Expatriates looking for some time in the sun convene in this location. Nosara has an alternative, healthy vibe, and there are many yoga workshops and classes to participate in. Once you have performed your daily yoga stretches, the beaches await. For example, Playa Ostional, located in Nosara Ostional Wildlife refuge, has long sandy beaches, palm trees, and beautiful blue waters. Additionally, the beach is a protected haven for turtles during the hatching season. The turtles lay their eggs on the beach. Once the eggs hatch, the baby turtles are easy prey for predators. As turtles are an endangered species, volunteer programs have been put into place to protect the baby turtles and make sure they reach the ocean safely.
