Family Travel: Rolling With the Whole Crew

Welcome to the Family Travel corner of Recess & Runaway—the place for the big, full-crew adventures. If Little Explorer Trips are about quick weekends with my 5-year-old, this is where the grandparents, cousins, co-parents, and chosen family pile in, too. Think more passports, more snack negotiations, and way more stories.

Here you’ll find ideas for multi-generational meetups, longer school breaks away from Monteverde, family-friendly spots around Costa Rica (and beyond), and honest tips for keeping young kids happy when you’re traveling as a group. However your family is shaped—solo parent, blended crew, friends-who-feel-like-family—you’re welcome here. Pull up a chair, swap stories, and come plan the next big adventure with us.
