Itinerary
Day 1 – Depart U.S. / Arrive San JoseUpon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel, where your Costa Rica family vacation begins.
Days 2 and 3 – Turrialba region
The Turrialba region is surrounded by lush green forests and plantations and crowned with the 11,260 foot Irazú Volcano. But the real family fun lies on the rolling rapids of the Pejibaye River where you will enjoy some of the best whitewater rafting in the country. Agriculture is the principal industry - Arabica coffee, sugarcane and macadamia nuts abound. Turrialba is the only place allowed to produce the popular Costa Rican cheese that shares the name 'Turrialba'.
