Pura Vida with the Kids

Costa Rica is nature's theme park — monkeys swinging through the canopy, sloths napping in cecropia trees, toucans perched on branches, and sea turtles nesting on moonlit beaches. It's also one of the safest countries in Latin America and has an infrastructure built for eco-tourism. Families can zip-line over cloud forests, raft Class II rapids, soak in volcanic hot springs, and learn to surf on gentle Pacific waves. All in a country small enough to see multiple regions in one trip.
