Costa Rica holds a special place in my heart—not just for its lush jungles and wild coastlines, but for the memories I’ve been lucky enough to create there. I first experienced the country’s raw beauty on a trip with my son, just the two of us exploring waterfalls and hiking near the shadow of a massive volcano. Years later, I returned with my daughter, her husband, and my wife, retracing parts of that adventure but also discovering new corners of paradise together.
