My children are 6 and 8 years and I felt they were old enough to join me and my husband on one of my research trips, combined with a family holiday to Costa Rica.  They loved it – and a great highlight for them was Arenal Volcano near Lake Arenal, the largest volcano in the world, erupting every day since July 1968.  The local Costa Rican guild had the children in the front of the vehicle so he could explain all about the geology of the Arenal Volcano to them and answer all their millions of questions, what a coup for their next school project.  

Hotel Kioro in Costa Rica
The children loved swimming at the beautiful Arenal Kioro Hotel, and watching the smoke streaming out from the Volcano. They enjoyed playing in the hot springs while spotting the different birds and animals, also horse riding around the different sides of the volcano stopping for a swim in a waterfall.

Hotel Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica
The second part of the trip was a great relaxing family holiday on the beach at Hotel Manuel Antonio. We stayed at the luxurious Arenas del Mar hotel, with monkeys playing in the trees at breakfast and Jesus Christ lizards and iguanas to see all day.  Costa Rica is such a special place, perfect for a family holiday, with adventure and education for all.
