Zac Efron is visiting Costa Rica

Zac Efron, the US actor, was spotted enjoying his vacations in Costa Rica. The Directorate of Migration confirmed the movie star entered the country on march 12th and hasn’t registered a departure.

The 34-year-old was photographed soaking up the sun and enjoying the day in the beautiful Costa Rican beaches. He was seen jogging, taking a dip in the ocean afterwards, as well as surfing for a little while.

Efron is vacationing with some of his close friends, and was also observed talking to and laughing with a woman, whose identity still remains unknown. It was reported by the British press that he has been “seen with an affectionate attitude, accompanied by Efron’s friends.”

The Daily Mail, described Zac’s visit to Costa Rica and said the girl could be the actor’s new love interest.

Today, Zac published two pictures via Instagram, riding an ATV at the beach accompanied by his brother Dylan Efron. “Mi corazón está aquí” (My heart is here), he captioned the post, in which he tagged his friend Caleb Davidge.

The Baywatch star post doesn’t come as a surprise at all, since he has visited Costa Rica several times. He first flew in April and May 2017, came back in 2018, then in November 2019, when he was seen exploring the Osa Peninsula and rappelling down a waterfall. In 2020, he made the trip to film the Netflix documentary Down to Earth.

Dylan Efron also posted a picture of him and his brother driving their ATVs, to which he captioned: “el ultimo compra las birras,” which means, “the last one buys the beers.” The younger brother used some hashtags, including Santa Teresa, giving away the possible location where he, his brother and friends are likely to be having the time of their lives.

Costa Rican fans have flooded the brothers’ Instagram posts with all sorts of comments, most involving hearts, love and affection. 

Wearing pair of sunglasses, a baseball cap and blue shorts, the heartthrob is looking relaxed and appreciating his time off. Even though he isn’t shooting any films or shows, he brought along his own camera and was seen filming his experience in beautiful Santa Teresa.
