Costa Rica is a natural paradise complete with jungles, volcanoes, spectacular beaches and wildlife - the perfect destination for a family holiday. Fun and varied adventures are the order of the day, including a walk to the summit of an active volcano and a boat trip through the inland waterways of Tortuguero surrounded by noisy Howler Monkeys and colourful birds. There are also great opportunities to interact with the local people, as we visit a family-run working hacienda and a rural school to meet the kids. Monteverde's forest reserves are world-famous and are the perfect place to walk in the clouds or take an exhilarating canopy zip-line tour. After an action-packed educational holiday, we head to the Pacific Coast for two days of pure relaxation.
