Most travelers to Costa Rica arrive during the 'dry' season, which lasts from December to April, commonly known as the monsoon season, from May to November. However, their fears about rain are often misunderstood as 'green' season offers some different benefits for tourists and eco-tourists who really want to experience the protected rainforests of Costa Rica such as the famous Manuel Antonio National Park. . Here are ten reasons why the 'green' season is still a great time to visit.
first of all, it does not rain. It may rain a lot, but that does not mean you can not see the sun. The typical pattern during the rainy season is sunny days and rainy evenings, or some rain after a few sunny days. If you avoid the rain in the month of October, you are still guaranteed to see plenty of sunshine.
Second, it is the 'green' season. For the locals, it was 'green' season, not 'rain'. More rain means the plants will thrive 'and' for nature lovers it will be the best part of the year, the dust will blow away and the whole forest will be green.
Third, it is more economical. Usually the cost of almost everything, from vacation rentals to tours, drops during the rainy season, making it easy to get on your wallet year round.
Fourth, you can avoid the crowd. Anyone standing in one of the National Parks on a busy ‘high season’ weekend can tell you that it is very difficult to enjoy the beautiful beaches and spot the animals when the camera is occupied by tourists moving around the place. Everything from relaxing on the beach to going out for lunch is a more enjoyable experience when there are less crowds.
Fifth, you can sit back and enjoy the show. A spectacular view of thunderstorms in the tropics. Much more powerful and dramatic than the temperate regions of the world, these are an amazing display of light and sound. So after a great morning at the beach, lie back on your hammock, sip a cup of Costa Rican coffee and let the show begin.
Sixth, enjoy your rest. When you are safe on your bed, nothing can make you fall asleep faster than the sound of rain outside.
Seventh, you will enjoy a more comfortable temperature. The 'dry' climate in Costa Rica is hot - really hot and humid. For those who prefer more moderate temperatures, a drop of a few degrees during the rainy season can make all the difference. The air is still nice and warm, but not as oppressive as in the summer months.
Eighth, take advantage of the mango season. Costa Rica is full of natural fruits and vegetables, but most trees only bear fruit after the summer is over. An example of this is mangoes - if you travel from June, you can spend your whole day picking ripe juicy mangoes from the ground.
Ninth, swimmers and surfers enjoy better waves. Costa Rica is famous for its killer surfing along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Although wonderful throughout the year, when the green weather is bumpy there ******, the surf is much better.
Tenth, experience the rainy morning. Mornings after heavy night rain are a wonderful experience in Costa Rica. As the sun rises and the clouds clear, sip your coffee and breathe in the fragrant cool air as you gaze at the glowing forest with freshness...
