Travel is more than sightseeing. For families, it can be a chance to bond, to grow, and to create memories that last a lifetime. But what if family travel could also shape values, deepen faith, and give back to the world?
At Zabal Travel, we believe adventure and meaning belong together. When families journey with purpose, travel becomes more than a vacation—it becomes a legacy. Here are some of the top destinations we recommend for families who want to experience both adventure and eternal impact.
Costa Rica – Adventure in Creation
Costa Rica is a playground for families who love the outdoors. With ziplining through cloud forests, spotting monkeys and sloths in Manuel Antonio, and surfing on warm Pacific waves, the adventures never end.
But beyond the thrill, Costa Rica invites families to see creation as a gift. Exploring rainforests and learning about conservation allows children to connect faith with stewardship. Parents often find that adventure here sparks conversations about God’s beauty and our role in caring for the earth.
Peru – The Adventure of Legacy
For families who want a mix of adventure and cultural depth, Peru offers both. Hiking parts of the Inca Trail, exploring Machu Picchu, and boating on Lake Titicaca give kids and parents alike a taste of wonder.
But Peru is also a place to learn from history and resilience. Meeting local communities, hearing their stories, and supporting sustainable tourism teaches families that travel is not only about taking in beauty—it’s about honoring it.
Kenya – Safari With a Purpose
A family safari in Kenya is unforgettable—lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras right before your eyes. Yet the experience goes beyond wildlife. Many family trips here include visiting local villages, supporting education projects, or spending time with Christian partners making a difference.
Children return home not only with photos of animals but with hearts touched by global connection. Parents often find that such a trip sparks a lasting awareness in their kids of God’s care for people across cultures.
Spain – Retreat and Adventure in One
Spain may surprise you on this list, but it’s an ideal destination for families seeking a slower rhythm. The Camino de Santiago offers walking routes suitable for families, blending gentle adventure with spiritual reflection.
Beyond the Camino, families can explore Moorish palaces, enjoy Mediterranean beaches, and join local festivals. Spain gives parents a chance to model balance—embracing both activity and rest, history and hospitality, faith and fun.
Every family’s story is unique, and so is every journey. At Zabal, we design experiences that help families connect—with one another, with the world, and with God’s greater purpose.
