If you want to know when to travel to Costa Rica<\/strong>, we will tell you that the country has two different seasons. On the other hand, depending on the reason for your trip, it will be more convenient to travel in certain months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to travel to Costa Rica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica has two main seasons, the dry season and the\nrainy season. The dry season runs from December to April, while the rainy\nseason between May and November. Needless to say, if you want to avoid the\nrains, the best time to visit Costa Rica is during the dry season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your trip is motivated by the spirit of\nadventure and you want to see certain animals, such as leatherback turtles or\nthe famous quetzal, April is the right month. The green turtles, on the other\nhand, will be more visible in August and September. But if you want to enjoy\nthe pure life<\/em> of\nthis country and its exuberant nature, choose from December to April to make\nyour trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although during the dry season the humidity is less\nunbearable and there is less rain, in the southern zone of Costa Rica, as well\nas in the central part of the Pacific coast, it still rains in December and\nJanuary. Further north, on the other hand, the climate is drier and warmer,\nreaching 40\u00baC. If you travel to the Costa Rican coast which faces the Atlantic,\nyou will find a more moderate climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the rainy season, keep in mind that the rains start\nat noon and continue well into the night. The advantage of travelling during\nthe wet season is that, as it is the low season, you will find better prices,\nfewer tourists and you can take advantage of sunny mornings. August is,\neverywhere, the month where it rains least, while in September and October it\nrains the most throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, we must add that the climate is changing in\nCosta Rica, just like in the rest of the world, so the dry and rainy seasons\nintermingle all year round. But let’s see when to travel to Costa Rica\naccording to the place you want to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to San Jos\u00e9<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy the beauty of San Jos\u00e9, choose the best months\nfrom February to April, because the weather is more sunny and pleasant.\nDecember and January are also valid months to travel, since they correspond to\nthe dry season. From May to November, however, the rains may spoil your visit;\nalthough as we said before, the mornings will be sunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average temperature in San Jos\u00e9 can be between 15\u00baC and\n25\u00baC from December to April, which makes the dry season the perfect time to\nvisit the Costa Rican capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Puerto Lim\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to travel to the Caribbean coast and visit Puerto\nLim\u00f3n, Tortuguero or Puerto Viejo, you will have a humid and warm climate\npractically throughout the year. During the dry season, the temperatures will\noscillate between 20\u00baC and 30\u00baC; thanks to the trade winds, the climate is\nquite moderate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, during the dry season, February and\nApril are the best months to discover these paradises of Costa Rica. Most\ntourists choose February and March, so take note that in February everything\nwill be more expensive and there will be many more people. If you want to avoid\nit, it is better to choose March, and avoid July, since it is the month with\nthe highest number of precipitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the three regions of the Pacific<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Costa Rica, there are three distinct regions which face\nthe Pacific Ocean. The Central Pacific, where Playa Hermosa, Jac\u00f3, Quepos,\nPuntaneras, etc. are, have their best temperatures during the dry season, that\nis, between December and April. In the South Pacific, where the Corcovado\nNational Park is located, the months of the dry season coincide, but it is a\nmore rainy area. In the North Pacific area, where tourists visit Tamarindo or\nFlamingo, it will also be the preferred dry season to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate in these three regions is characterised by an\naverage of temperatures ranging from 24\u00baC to 34\u00baC throughout the dry season.\nApril is the warmest month, while December is somewhat less hot, and has plenty\nof sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A case apart is the province of Guanacaste (North Pacific),\nthe driest of all, with a climate similar to that of the African savannah. With\nits nine hours of sun a day, the temperature reaches 35\u00baC during the dry\nseason. From May to November (rainy season), you will still have 30\u00baC, although\nthe rains still appear, especially in September and October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadly speaking, and as you have seen, from December to\nApril would be the ideal months to travel to Costa Rica and discover all its\nnatural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
