What to do with the family in Costa Rica?
The varied landscapes of Costa Rica provide ample and diverse fun for all ages, and the province of Guanacaste has family activities that will create a lifetime of memories for everyone. Kids and adults alike can appreciate the grandeur of the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, for example, giving you a window into a natural world where bubbling mud pits and majestic waterfalls share the scene with a sweeping forest. Or how about taking a Costa Rican horseback riding escapade through the countryside, something that will impress both children and grown-ups as they ride on their loyal steed with great views of nature all around them.
Looking to insert a little more adrenaline into your Guanacaste family activities? How about taking the fam on an ATV tour in Costa Rica, steering your high-power vehicle through the bumpy terrain, and having a blast. Or if you have a family full of daredevils, you can soar high above the land on the longest zip line in Central America at the Diamante Eco Adventure Park, where the 4,000-foot ‘Superman’ is part of a memorable zip line course along with a nice animal sanctuary, giving the kids plenty of reason to be especially amazed by the flora and fauna of Costa Rica.
If your family would much rather take it slow while they’re completely surrounded by nature, how about taking a boat ride to get a closer look at the majestic Arenal Volcano. Continue viewing this iconic mountain as you walk through a rainforest full of waterfalls and flora, before you all relax in pools of hot spring water, ending the day by enjoying a gourmet dinner with another view of the amazing Arenal Volcano.
Additionally, you can spend a day in the mountains with the Culture and Adventure Mega Combo, which allows you to get in touch with the roots of the Costa Rican people by observing how coffee, cheese, cornbread, and even pottery have been crafted for generations. This adventure also includes nice adrenaline, though, with a zip line course and a 1,300-foot mega water slide, making it one of the most complete family activities in Guanacaste for sure!
