With more than 100 volcanoes and many of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Costa Rica is a photographer’s paradise. Backdrops like the perfect volcanic cone of Arenal (above) and Pos’ boiling crater are as dramatic as they come. Combine your portrait with a romantic swim at the base of La Fortuna Waterfall’s 230-foot plummet, or a trip to La Paz Waterfall and Gardens for images of you surrounded by colorful hummingbirds and butterfl ies.
