WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT COSTA RICA?

The best time to visit Costa Rica varies by region. In general December to April is considered the best time to visit, with drier, sunnier weather in most of the country (though it’s a tropical climate so visitors should be prepared for some rain).

In the Arenal region and on the Caribbean Coast, the climate is best in 'green season', from March to September.

September to October are the wettest months, but outside of these the green season is a still good time to travel. In general rain falls in short bursts in the afternoon, so shouldn't disrupt activities, and the parks are quieter.

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Costa Rica.
