Tourist Season in Costa Rica
It's best to visit Costa Rica in January, February, March and April - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.
Also, choosing months such as May and December is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in June, July and also in November, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad. It is better to avoid August, September and October as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
