osta Rica is the perfect destination for a family holiday. The country is a natural paradise complete with jungles, volcanoes, spectacular beaches and wildlife. We walk to the summit of an active volcano surrounded by lush rainforest, and get up close to a number of Costa Rica's amazing butterfly species. Exploring Tortuguero National Park's inland waterways, we listen for Howler Monkeys and search for colourful birds. There are opportunities for interaction with local people too, as we visit a family-run working hacienda and a rural school to meet the children. The forests of Monteverde are world famous and a perfect place to walk in the clouds or choose to take an exhilarating canopy zip-tour. Finally, we head to the Pacific Coast for two days of pure relaxation.
