In the Hispanic world Santa Teresa is an important saint and celebration. Consequently Santa Teresa is a wide spread town name : there are Santa Teresa in U.S., Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Only the last one, Santa Teresa from Costa Rica waked my interest and I visited it since short time.

Santa Teresa is a fast growing city sitting in the jungle. The road conditions are poor, the touristic infrastructure is also not very developed, as the city has been for many years a humble fishing village in Costa Rica. Despite all of these things, the town and the area tourism is booming. Some prominents have discovered this wonderful quiet place ( e.g. Giselle Bundchen owes a property in the area, and she celebrated her wedding there. It was a violent wedding, with shotguns.)
