Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure of visiting. The people are amazingly friendly and the beaches are beautiful. This boat belongs to Alonzo, the snorkeling guide we hired, we took a small break to lay on the beach before going back to the hotel. #PuraVida #beachlife #AquaTrove
