I’ve been a traveler my whole life, and was lucky to grow up in a family that valued discovering new cultures from an early age. Now it’s my nephew’s turn. At just two years old and with seven countries under his belt, he’s well on his way to becoming a citizen of the world.

Traveling with children may seem overwhelming at first, but studies show it offers powerful developmental benefits. Experts agree that travel expands a child’s worldview, increases empathy, supports brain development, and even enhances language skills—especially in the first five years of life.

At Slowy Travel Agency, we help families tap into the full potential of travel by creating personalized, family-friendly itineraries in Costa Rica. From selecting child-welcoming eco-lodges and boutique hotels to planning interactive experiences that engage kids with local culture, we make every moment count.

We believe that true learning happens in small, everyday interactions—like walking through a colorful local neighborhood, trying new foods, or joining in on a cultural celebration. That’s why we guide families to places beyond the typical tourist stops, introducing them to the real Costa Rica in ways children can understand, relate to, and enjoy.

Whether it’s organizing playdates with local kids, helping your child plant a tree in a sustainable farm, or leading a wildlife treasure hunt through a tropical rainforest, our team crafts every trip to be fun, safe, and educational. We also offer tools and tips for parents—such as preparing kids for jet lag, creating travel traditions, or turning sightseeing into games that spark curiosity.

Children may not remember every detail of their early travels, but the experiences will leave a lasting mark. According to child development experts, being exposed to new cultures at a young age builds empathy, adaptability, and confidence—values they carry for life.

At Slowy, we don’t just plan family vacations. We help raise global citizens—one meaningful journey at a time. Let us guide your family through Costa Rica’s beauty, diversity, and wonder, while you enjoy peace of mind and create memories you’ll all cherish forever.
