Costa Rica is a trying to preserve a delicate balance between tourism and protection of natural resources. From their deserted beaches to the dry coastal and then misty inland tropical forests, more than 27% of the country’s area is protected. This attracts visitors eager to partake in the pura vida, the “pure life” of Costa Rica.

Joe and Betty Graziano traveled there in January. The photos were many and amazing. I pared them down to create the slideshow below.
