Costa Rica { 40 images } Created 23 Jan 2022

Once a remote Costa Rican fishing village, Santa Teresa has grown into a Central American hot spot for surfers and off-the-beaten-path travelers. Here's a selection of photos I took during a trip here with my family in January 2022. These images may be licensed for commercial and/or editorial use.
