  • When is the ideal time to visit Costa Rica?

    The dry season (December to April) is generally considered the best time to visit, with sunny skies and less rainfall. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds.

If you're visiting this lush country, you'll want to visit some of its gorgeous natural parks, like the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Arenal Volcano National Park, or Monteverde and the Cloud Forests.

  • Is renting a car recommended for exploring Costa Rica?
