This 8-Day / 7-Night Costa Rica family vacation package focuses on two nature-intense Pacific Ocean regions, mixing the pristine beaches and exotic location in Santa Teresa de Malpais with a three night stay in Corcovado / Osa, the most ecologically diverse region on the planet. Due to the remote location, difficult travel conditions and long hikes in the parks, Corcovado is not a good fit for children under eight years old.
