Overview

• Best general times to visit are from December through April, which is the dry season. Or July and August when there is a little more rain but thinner crowds.

• Costa Rica is a nature enthusiast's dream. Outdoor activities range from hiking, rafting, wildlife viewing, snorkeling, zip lining, and more. Costa Rica also offers many opportunities to visit communities and learn their ways of life, immersing yourself in local culture.

• Costa Rica is best enjoyed outdoors in nature. There are accommodations that fit all travel styles, from rustic all the way to luxury. First time travelers love Costa Rica because it is safe and has good infrastructure, but adventurous and off the beaten path enthusiasts also have a lot to explore and enjoy.

• You can either rent a car, hire a driver, or take public transportation. If you rent a car please be aware that many of the small roads are not paved. There is also a domestic airline that can help you get from one side of the country to the other quickly.
