Travel Agent Advice
If you are planning on visiting Costa Rica, I definitely suggest traveling sometime during their dry season (Mid-November-May) because you won't be able to do a lot of outside activities during the wet season. I would suggest visiting Costa Rica in December as you can plan on visiting during Christmas/New Years. If you live somewhere cold in the United States, it would be a perfect time to leave that cold, snowy weather behind and visit Costa Rica during their summer. A couple of fun things you could do while vacationing in Costa Rica would be zip-lining across a rainforest canopy or relaxing in a volcano-heated hot spring.
Some potential weather hazards in Costa Rica include: volcanoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
Costa Rica is a tropical beach paradise getaway for any traveler wanting to get away from their hectic lives.
