Best Time to Visit Costa Rica

Most people plan their Costa Rica holidays from December to April, also known as the dry season in the country. The temperature stays between 24 and 32°C, and the conditions are overall sunny. You can easily explore the country’s beaches, coffee plantations, wildlife, and national parks. As it is the peak season, you’ll find more tourists in the country, and the prices are also the highest. As there are Christmas and New Year holidays in the UK, more and more people try to plan their Costa Rica luxury holidays during this time. If you aren’t bothered by a bit of rain, you can plan your trip to Costa Rica during the rainy season, which runs from May to November. The benefits of going in this season include fewer tourists and lower prices. If you are interested in surfing at some of the best beaches in the world, the best time to visit Costa Rica depends on the coast you are visiting. For example, the Pacific Coast is ideal in the dry season, while the Caribbean Coast is better from September to October.
