10 Reasons to Choose Costa Rica for Family Travel

10 reasons to choose Costa Rica (for your first family travel international trip) 🐒🦜🦥 Foreign travel doesn’t have to be scary. If you’re wanting to venture out of your home country, but don’t know where to start…✈️🇨🇷😧 👉In case that Rio Celeste jungle waterfall wasn’t enough to convince you, here’s why Costa Rica should be on your list. 🦜It’s safe. Granted, there are dangerous areas, but for the most part, it’s very peaceful. They don’t even have an army! 🦥Many people speak English. Yes, practice a few Spanish phrases, but you’ll get by okay. 🐒You can drink the tap water. Fewer tummy problems to worry about means one less thing. 🦎Paying is easy. Most places take credit card or US dollars. Definitely exchange some colones, but you don’t have to worry about always having it. 🌴Costa Rica thrives on tourism, and make every effort to want you here! ☀️Driving is good with some decent highways. Stick to the main roads, and you don’t need a 4x4. Thank goodness for Waze! 🏄‍♀️Renting a car is simple. We have a six person car with automatic transmission. Granted, it’s not cheap, but it’s worth it to easily get around and see more. 🌋The people are amazingly friendly and laid back. It’s like being welcomed into their home. 🥾The ridiculous comforts of home are here. The cell signal is better than I have in Georgia, and there is strong wi-fi at hotels with US-size electric plugs… All your tech family needs. ❤️Volcanoes. Rain forests. Tropical flowers. Beaches. Sloths. Monkeys. And the Rio Celeste waterfall. 👉I may not be a Costa Rica expert, but I’d love to push you take that next step to family adventure. Ask away! If I don’t know the answer, I’ll pretend well. 😉 . . . —-///Follow @reclaimingwonders for more laid back family travel and relaxed homeschool truths. I’m glad you’re here. 😘
