1. Explore the Rainforest: Costa Rica is home to some of the world’s most beautiful rainforests, where you can see a wide variety of exotic plants and animals.

3. Visit a Wildlife Sanctuary: Costa Rica is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, and colorful birds. Take your kids to a wildlife sanctuary or national park to learn more about the country’s natural habitats. We love Proyecto Asis and Club Rio Wildlife Sanctuary near the Arenal Volcano.
