Villa Florencia

Day 1 ---- Travel to Turrialba (Villa Florencia)

Today you will be met at the airport and travel southeast from the capital city to the beautiful town of Turrialba surrounded by mountains and the smoking Turrialba Volcano. We will be staying in the Villa Florencia which is an Hacienda setting on a sugar-cane plantation with fabulous views of the surrounding mountains. This hotel just finished the construction of 10 new beautiful rooms to go along with their other nice rooms and a large restuarant to fit the group and a brand new pool for all to enjoy. (Meals: Dinner)

Day 2 ---- Visit Sitio de Mata & Soccer Game & Optional Coffee Tour (Villa Florencia)

Today you will be visiting the rural village of Sitio de Mata. The kids will have a chance to mingle with the locals and even maybe a soccer clinic would be fun for the younger local kids to take part in. In the evening we will have a soccer match scheduled against one of the local sub-13 teams and have the crowds ready to cheer on the teams.

Pacuare River

Again we will plan on trying to get some excitement for the game and have some of the locals join. (Meals: Breakfast & Dinner)

Cahuita

Day 4 ---- Travel to Cahuita  (La Casa de Las Flores)

This is a travel day to the Caribbean. We will make the 3 hour bus ride to the area of Cahuita where the kids will enjoy the small quaint little town of the Caribbean. This is the perfect choice for kids of this age and a fun and safe vibe in the small little town. The hotels we use in Cahuita are small and we can get two hotels close to each other for the group. You would basically have the entire hotel to yourself. One example of one I really like is La Casa de Las Flores. If you did not want to use two hotels because of the size of the group we would move closer to the area of Puerto Viejo. (Meals: Breakfast & Dinner)

One Surf Lesson is all you Need!

Day 5 ---- Optional Surf Classes (La Casa de Las Flores)

Today they will have the option of just enjoying the beach or they can do some surf classes. Another option would be to enjoy the National Park of Cahuita which is a must see while in the area. (Meals: Breakfast & Dinner)
