Costa Rica Photo Gallery

I travelled to Costa Rica very recently and indulged in a number of eco-tourism activities including volunteering for a sea-turtle conservation project. It’s a lovely little country and I traveled from the laid-back Atlantic coast with a Caribbean vibe to the more touristy and surf towns on the Pacific coast, stopping in the highlands on the way.
