Costa Rica Family Adventure - Tortuguero & The Caribbean - Makai's World
From the Makai's World Family Travel & Adventure Blog:
There was a time a few years ago when our family (and especially Makai) had a few months full of really fun adventures and activities. We had a chance to go backstage at the Ky-Mani Marley concert with the amazing Jessy Chick, and we took a trip to the Bri Bri Waterfalls. All of the adventures where super fun but one of the highlights was our trip to Tortuguero, Costa Rica with Exploradores Outdoors Adventure Company. A good friend of our family was rewarded a trip to Tortuguero but had been there quite a few times so he decided to give the opportunity to us. So we each packed a small bag for our 2-day family adventure!
As we headed down the river it was a pleasantly smooth ride in comparison to the bumpy roads. So with the wind in our face, we headed towards our destination. The guides remained very informative about the ecosystem that we were traveling through and pointed out plants and birds and even caimans and crocodiles!
It was truly amazing being so close to these amazing creatures, but we also held Makai very close because we would not like to see what would happen if anyone went overboard. After seeing and learning many amazing this, we arrived at the dock of the resort where we would be staying for the night.

Nicaragua Land of Lakes and Volcanoes
A collaboration of the private sector with the tourism and the investments in Nicaragua by Lolo Morales Furniture | Like the best ones of the world

N I C A R A G U A
Nicaragua is truly deserving of the poetic description as The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. It is the heart of Central America, situated at the very center of the Americas --an ideal place to visit if you are looking for something truly different and defying. Nicaragua is neatly tucked between two oceans, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of dozens of volcanoes, rivers, and lakes.
The country has three regions with very different weather, geography, and population: Pacific Region, Central Region, and the Caribbean Region consisting of two sub-regions: the Autonomous North Atlantic Region (RAAN), and the Autonomous South Atlantic Region (RAAS).
It is rich in tourist attractions allowing you to choose from an immense variety of activities like swimming or surfing on the gigantic waves of the Pacific Ocean; nature walks to the volcanoes and magical lagoons where you will be a first hand witness to hundreds of animal species and florae, this is especially great for lovers of ecological tourism.
You can go kayaking on the calm waters of Lake Cocibolca, an immense lake with the wonder of over three hundred islands and home of the only fresh water sharks in the world; fabulous rivers, visits to Spanish colonial cities, archeological treasures, and swim and surf on the crystalline waters of the Caribbean.
We encourage you to visit one of our main tourist routes, commonly known as the Coffee Route, located in the northern part of the country; it is a fascinating experience of Alternative Tourism where a venturesome tourist takes to the jungle, encountering animal life and vegetation in their natural environment. Later arriving at coffee farms with ideal and comfortable facilities for the tourist to rest, hike; sightsee while identifying the fauna and flora, mountain biking, horseback riding, and all this happens in a deliciously cool climate.
The Water Route is another tour. This time through the San Juan River and its outlets. It is over 200 Kilometers long and forms a natural border with our southern neighbor, Costa Rica, as it flows into the Caribbean Sea.
The area known as El Castillo is the widest part of the river, surrounded by islands bursting with vegetation and the Indio-Maize Reserve thrives with streams and jungle zones flourishing with flora and fauna.
The beauty and the natural and cultural variety of the country blend well with the hospitality of its people and a history that thrills and inspires. This is a land of great cultural richness, multiethnic and multilingual, opening a door to harmony and wealthy with optimism; all of this makes Nicaragua a unique and exceptional land to visit.

Guayabo and Las Mercedes
Ricardo Vázquez Leiva, an archaeologist at the National Museum of Costa Rica, looks at two archaeological sites in what is now Costa Rica. Guayabo and Las Mercedes are important for excavation because the scale of the architecture suggests that the sites represent societies where power was highly centralized. They stand as uniquely monumental examples in southern Central America.
This short video is from the exhibition Cerámica de los Ancestros: Central America’s Past Revealed. On view at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York from April 18, 2015, to January 2017, Cerámica de los Ancestros is a collaboration of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the Smithsonian Latino Center.
