Costa Rica Adventures- Photography

Dan introduced me to Costa Rica, he is the one responsible for all of our Costa Rica Adventures. He and his best friend started a mission in Costa Rica called Pura Vida Missions. They help families in San Ramon with everyday needs and teach them about the love of Christ. So we travel there often. Here are a few places we have visited. We have been ALL over Costa Rica but our favorite places are on the south west side of the country. Where you can see more wildlife than anywhere in the world on one place. It is like taking a National Geographic tour without spending the money. We love to explore and exploring in Costa Rica is so much fun! Dan loves to surf and fish and I love it all. Although, I haven’t taken up surfing yet, it works out because Dan gets epic surfing photos and I love surprising him with what I captured. Our favorite place is The Osa Peninsula. We love to go way down to Matapalo’ where it is totally off the grid. No stores, no big hotels, no POWER. Open air rooms that allow you to sleep with nature and wake with the howler monkeys call. We go to this resort because they provide three healthy yummy meals a day. We drove in anxious the first time with no food and no idea what it was like. So with no grocery stores finding a place like this is a gem! Encanta la Vida is just what your soul needs. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Another favorite for us is Dominical, Costa Rica. It is similar to Manuel Antonio where the rainforest meets the ocean. So you have mountains and ocean views from cliffs everywhere! It is like being on top of the world! Captured Beauty Photography started in Nature and loves to travel  to places like Costa Rica to fall in love all over again. I keep waiting to get a destination Wedding there so I can be a famous Costa rican Wedding Photographer!
