Family travelers with older children should book this new tour from Gondwana Ecotours. The Eco Tour + Wildlife Adventure takes family travelers to hidden gems of Costa Rica to find unique wildlife and authentic experiences. Over eight days, explore Costa Rica’s biodiversity by foot, boat and snorkel excursions.
Through guided nature and wildlife hikes, explore Corcovado National Park, which takes up about half of the Osa Peninsula and is home to a variety of diverse wildlife such as the highly endangered giant anteater, tapir, harpy eagle and Costa Rica’s big cats. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the park at night to spot creatures like colorful tree frogs. While there, stay overnight in SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge and have the opportunity to interact and learn from locals thanks to the lodge’s commitment to protecting the local community while educating travelers.
Next, head to Arenal Volcano National Park, a protected area known for its active Arenal Volcano and wildlife such as jaguars, tree frogs, monkeys and a variety of bird species. Spend the night in a nearby lodge and enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the surrounding wildlife.
Last is a trip to Tortuguero National Park, one of the most distinct, isolated and biodiverse places in the country. This ideal place for nature lovers provides a unique setting for travelers to spot sea turtles, manatees, speckled caimans and birds while navigating the park’s canals.
