We are going to CR next week with our 22 month old. We are hoping to find a great wildlife guide and/or babysitter that can help us when we are out there. We'll be in Papagayo half the week and Puntarenas the other half. Also welcome any suggestions as to what to do with a 22 month old (easy hiking trails with lots of animals/parks with lots of animals/etc.) We'll have a car. And any recommendations for sitters would be much appreciated! Thanks!

The lodging/hotel can provide contacts for a babysitter.

Papagayo is not near any parks you can make in as a day trip, other than Santa Rosa.

Puntarenas, the port town? Why are you staying there?

You need to move around to see the Parks, staying on the coast or the beach, will limit your exploring greatly.

I would not recommend staying at either location.

Adventure Travel to Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, South Africa, Morocco, Turkey, EU, USA National Parks, enjoying culture, cuisine, motorcycling, scuba diving, surfing, sailing, rafting, hiking, fishing, camping, nature, wildlife.
