Most tourists to "Costa Rica" come during the 'Dry' season, which runs from December to April, commonly known as the rainy season from May to November. Although their fears about rain are often misguided because the 'green' season offers a different pleasure to vacationers and eco-friendly tourists who really want to experience the protected rainforests of "Costa Rica," such as the famous "Manuel Antonio National Park."
Here are top ten reasons why the 'green' season in "Costa Rica" is still a great time to visit:
1. First of all, it's not raining. It might rain a lot, but that doesn't mean you won't see the sun. The rainy season usually consists of sunny days and rainy evenings, or a few sunny days followed by rain. If you avoid the rainiest month of October, you'll still be assured of plenty of sunshine here.
2. It is the 'green' season. For the locals, it is a 'green' season, not 'Rain.' More rain means that the plants flourish, and for nature lovers, it is the best part of the year, in which the dust is removed, and the entire greenery of the forest comes to the fore.
3. It is also more economical. Usually, the cost of almost everything, from the price of vacation rentals to tours, is brought down a bit during the rainy season, making it an easy time of year to visit in your pocket.
4. You will be able to avoid the crowd. Anyone who's been standing in one of the national parks on a busy 'high season' weekend can tell you that it's hard to enjoy the beautiful beaches and see the animals when the place is overrun by camera-moving tourists. Everything from relaxing on the beach to going out for a meal is a more pleasant experience when there are fewer crowds.
5. You can sit back and enjoy the show. Thunderstorms are a stunning sight in the tropics. Much more powerful and dramatic than the more temperate regions of the world, these are a stunning display of light and sound. So after a great morning at the beach, lay back on your hammock. Sip a cup of Costa Rica coffee, and let the show begin.
6. Enjoy your rest. When you're securely in your bed, nothing will put you to sleep quicker than the soothing sound of rain outside.
7.You will enjoy a more comfortable temperature. The 'dry' weather in Costa Rica is hot - scorching and humid too. For those who prefer more moderate temperatures, a drop of even a few degrees during the rainy season can make a difference. The air is still nice and warm but not as oppressive as in the summer months.
8. Take advantage of the mango season here. Costa Rica is full of natural fruits and vegetables, but many trees bear fruit only after the summer. An example of this is mango - if you travel since June, you can literally spend your day picking ripe, juicy mangoes off the floor.
9. Swimmers and surfers will enjoy the better waves. Costa Rica is famous for its killer surfing on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Although the weather is nice throughout the year, the green season is when the swells are bigger and the surf is better.
10. Experience the morning of rainy weather. A morning after a heavy night of rain is a magical experience in Costa Rica. As the sun is rising and the clouds are clearing, sip your coffee as you watch the forest glow with freshness and breathe in the fragrant, cool air.
