![Secret Beach](https://cdn-v2.theculturetrip.com/20x11/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ks-secret-beach.webp)
Costa Rica is a very photogenic destination. Between the hundreds of beaches, lush and lively forests, immense variety of plants, flowers, and animals, the quaint towns markets, historical landmarks, and vibrant local culture – every blink of the eye is seemingly picture-worthy here. Photographs often don’t do this place justice, unless you are one of these photographers.
