The Peace, Play & Paradise Costa Rica vacation package for the family allows you to stay at outstaning accommodations in three of Costa Rica's most popular destinations without breaking the bank.  With its mix of volcanoes, hot springs, rainforests, waterfalls, and an all-inclusive beach resort, this package gives you a taste of the distinct regions of Costa Rica: the northern mountains of the Central Valley and the Poas Volcano, the Arenal Volcano in the San Carlos northern flatlands and the Beaches in Guanacaste.  The itinerary is also ideal for families that wish to rent a car and explore the country at their own pace.

Day 1: Arrive at San Jose International Airport.  A contact person will pick you up in the customs area and take you to meet your driver.  Board the van for the hour drive up the northern mountains of the Central Valley, with its spectacular views.  This is one of the country's prime coffee plantation regions, also known for the strawberry and ornamental plant production.  Check into your Central Valley mountain Hotel.

Day 2: Enjoy the hotel and the Central Valley.  Optional activities include visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Poas Volcano and the Doka Coffee Plantation.  Hikes, tours on horseback and canopy tours are also interesting activities available in the region.  Overnight in your Central Valley mountain hotel.

Day 3: Check out of the hotel and board the van for the 2½ hour private transfer through the northern plains to the Arenal Volcano Region.  This drive will take you down the mountains of the Central Valley into the rainforest of Sarapiqui and the San Carlos lowlands.  Check into your Arenal Region Hotel and begin exploring the region.  Spend the afternoon and evening enjoying the resort's hot springs, spa and pools (included in the Tabacon package)
