Why Families With Millennials Love Costa Rica

The travel bug is incurable. So if your childhood was filled with adventure, like mine, you’re not going to stop when you’ve grown up. Sure, the dynamic of your adventures change, but millennial family travel is an opportunity to share experiences that will help both generations see each other in a new light. Families with millennials love Costa Rica as a place to travel.

Endless Opportunity for Outdoor Activities

Whether you are a super adventurous family that loves the thrill of zip-lining through the jungle or a more laid back family who loves leisure hikes searching for wildlife – Costa Rica is the perfect place for all sorts of activity. There’s an opportunity at every turn for your family to explore the wild outdoors or roll up your sleeves and jump into action, from kayaking through the mangroves to relaxing on the beach, learning to make chocolate and sharing cultural experiences— there’s something for everyone!

New Experiences and New Friends

Test your limits in Costa Rica and step out of your comfort zone! Get caught in a rain storm and expect the unexpected! Repel down waterfalls, zip-line high above the tree tops, whitewater raft through class IV rapids, or test your taste buds. You make new friends during group travel, being paired with people the same age, or through meeting locals.  And there’s no better way to meet the locals than spending a night out with a local craft brewer and going to all the hot spots in San Jose to have a drink and route for the local futbol team.

The Vibrant Atmosphere

Costa Rica is one of the most colorful places in the world. From the lush green forests and magnificent birds to the vibrant farmer’s markets and lively nightlife – there’s not much more you can ask for.

The Mouthwatering Food

Who doesn’t love Latin food? YUM! Stop at a local mercado and pick up some plantains! Peel and fry them up in your favorite oil and enjoy these sweet treats. Or if you like a more savory dish try cooking up some tostones – flattened plantains covered in salt!

Doing Adult Things

We hate being treated like children and our natural instinct is to cringe or roll our eyes when we hear the phrase “family vacation.” But Costa Rica is far from childish. From bar crawls to hanging out at beach clubs with exclusive access to swim-up bars and private beaches, your family vacation will feel more like a party than a punishment!
