BEST TIME TO VISIT:
At just a few degrees north of the equator, there’s little seasonality in temperatures so any differences are due to specific locations and altitude.

The wet (or ‘green’) season runs from May-Nov, but with Costa Rica’s blanket of rainforest,
pretty much the whole country can be wet at any time of year.
