DIY Costa Rica Planning –
in collaboration with pura vida moms
At Costa Rica for Kids, we specialize in full-service family vacation planning—taking care of every detail from hotels and transportation to tours and special experiences.
But we know some families love the thrill of planning their own trip—researching hotels, comparing options, and building their own itinerary—yet still want the peace of mind that comes from expert guidance.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Christa from Pura Vida Moms, a trusted Costa Rica expert and bilingual mom, to help families who want to plan independently but still want guidance they can trust.
Christa offers personalized Costa Rica travel consultations for families who prefer a DIY approach but want a professional’s insight before booking. During a one-on-one session, she’ll help you:
- Map out the best routes and destinations for your family
- Choose kid-friendly hotels and activities
- Avoid common travel pitfalls
- Get insider tips from a mom who has lived and traveled extensively in Costa Rica.
If you’re the kind of traveler who loves to plan your own trip but wants expert input along the way, a Pura Vida Moms consultation is the perfect fit.
