Costa Rica and Envision go together like sloths and chilling out. More and more, festivals encompass so much beyond the music; they're a chance to get to know a region, a city or an entire country inside and out, from the culture and nature to food, neighborhoods and back roads. In this case, the land of "Pura Vida" more than delivered – as did the blissful Envision Festival itself. Don't ever forget to explore. Let these photos inspire you and show you why Envision and its setting Costa Rica make it one of the most incredible destination festivals ever.
