You should do Belize First and csta rica next year. Whilst they are both in Central Americia they are very different in culture and things to do. If you like the beach and swimming and rainforest and maya ruins then you and your family will totally enjoy Belize. Yes it is more expensive that Costa Rica but very different and can give you the natural product. Places like Cha Creek offer excellent tours and accomodations with interesting activities for the kids and they would do the Tikal day trip. Ambergris Caye San pedro would give you a great beach experience with things like swimming with rays and nurse sharks and snorkelling the beutiful barrier reef. It is easier to get around in Belize so you can do a lot more activities in a shorter time. have fun you should make up your mind to do both. You should do Belize First and csta rica next year.

You might want to try some of the other countries in Central America. ;) Costa Rica has some volcanoes but lacks a sense of culture, it's like they have a mix of all the other Central American cultures. They have nice beaches, nice weather (cooler than the rest of CA countries) and some volcanoes. But you might want to try Guatemala, I agree with what others have mentioned, about the Tikal and Mayan ruins, very fascinating. The thing is, Guatemala isn't that safe and since you're traveling with your family you might want to look for something safer. You also have Nicaragua. The people is the best, very nice and warm, everything is pretty cheap. You can find beautiful islands such as Ometepe or Corn Island. Or volcanoes like Masaya, Mombacho (which you can climb with tour guides-very nice), you'll find some canopy as well. You'll also find beautiful beaches such as Montelimar or San Juan del sur, which is famous for the good conditions for surfing. Oh, the colonial city of Granada, i'm sure you would love it. It's so nice and colonial indeed, old churches, nice parks, friendly people. You'll also find las "Isletas de Granada", tiny little pieces of land floating on the Managua Lake.... I could go on... but it's up to you to decide. Panama- you could visit the Panama Canal....i've been there twice, really nice, but not much to see Why either one of those?
