We absolutely love Costa Rica! For our second Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 photoshoot, we traveled to the stunning Central American country with Hunter McGrady, Barbara Palvin, Lais Ribeiro, Kate Bock and Jasmine Sanders. From the beautiful rainforests to the breathtaking blue waters, Costa Rica is definitely the ultimate destination.

We were definitely living the pura vida lifestyle at the amazing Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas. This private getaway is nestled in the jungle, giving you a front-row look at Costa Rica’s natural beauty. Luxurious doesn’t even begin to describe this place. From infinity pools, to sweeping terraces, to delicious meals, this was one location we did not want to leave.

Costa Rica is also an amazing destination if you’re looking for adventure! After her photo shoot, we took Lais to Hotel Rio Perdido, where she zip-lined through paradise and swam in the soothing hot springs. In the mood to experience even more of what Costa Rica has to offer? Rio Perdido encourages guests to enjoy scenic hikes, try mountain biking and even go white-water tubing.

Costa Rica really is one of the best places to visit if you’re looking for the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. We’d definitely recommend this gorgeous location to anyone on the hunt for an unforgettable vacation!
