[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do that road scholar trip. Jaco is not for a family trip. For that age range and desire to see a couple different places, I would not do the Osa, even though its incredible. On the beaten path : I would start with 4 days in La Fortuna/Arenal. Lots for the teens to do here, some nice hikes, and wildlife. 2 nights in Monteverde--cloud forest is unusual, great hiking, do a night tour here. Then finish up with a few days on the central south Pacific. I would rent a house in or near Domenicalito, Uvita, or Ojochal. I personally think Manuel Antonio park is super crowded, overrated, and much prefer Los Campesinos or Rainmaker, and there are lots of chill beaches in this area. You don't need a car for La Fortuna or Monteverde (private shuttle plus Uber works fine) but you'll want one for the Pacific region. If you want more off the beaten path, start with a few days in the central valley highlands (maybe finca Rosa Blanca), and do day trips from a gorgeous mountain base: coffee farms, La Paz, Poas, hiking in Braulo Carrillo, then head maybe to waterfalls in Bajos del Toros). And then hit a beach. El Silencio near Bajos is gorgeous but expensive. Third option is to fly in and out of Libera; Start with a few days at Hacienda Guacheplin for hot springs, adventure stuff, mud baths and some hiking and Tenorio volcano, maybe a few days at Bijuaga and visit Rio Celeste and then head to the beach (Samara or nearby). [/quote] This seems like good advice but I would skip the cloud forest. This may seem obvious, but it’s wet and cloudy. It was interesting but I just felt damp constantly and a little chilly. I guess that was predictable but somehow cloud forest makes it sound much more romantic! [/quote]
