Hi Shannatoth!

How exciting! What an amazing vacation you’re creating for your children. 🙂

A lot of what you’re after (beach time, zip-lining, wildlife-viewing, coffee and chocolate tours, and nature) is already covered by visiting La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio, which is great. It sounds like you would benefit from spending time at a more low-key destination at the end of your trip, especially since the first three destinations you intend to visit are popular and tend to be busy. What if, after visiting Manuel Antonio, you head further down the coast to the Osa Peninsula? I’d recommend checking out the Drake Bay area. It will provide you with the solitude you want, in addition to additional nature exploration, beach time, and wildlife-viewing opportunities.

Pura vida!
