When To Come

Costa Rica is an excellent vacation destination the whole year round! Costa Rica has two basic seasons:

The Dry or High Season:

This season starts in late November and lasts through April. Days are usually dry and sunny. Because this is the most popular season, reservations need to be made well in advance and prices are usually more expensive.

The Wet or Low Season:

The season runs usually from May to November. Though rain may come daily during the afternoon, sunny summery mornings and peaceful evenings are usually delightful times for activities. Bargain conscious travelers usually pick this season because prices are lower and discounts abound.

There is a brief period between June and August, known as Veranillo de San Juan (St. Johns Short Summer) when the days are sunny for several weeks.
