Many people feel that the "green season," or rainy season is the best time to visit Costa Rica! The "rainy season" does not mean that it rains all day long, or every day, but it may rain a few hours, and then stop. This combination of rain and sunlight make everything more tropically and beautifully green, and for that reason, some tourists prefer this time.
The typical dry season, on the other hand, corresponds with the most intense reservation time in Costa Rica, which is the colder winter times in the United States, Canada and Europe. "Snowbirds" flock to the warm tropical climate and sandy beaches of the dry Guanacaste, Papagayo and Nicoya Peninsula at that time to stock up on a deep, tropical tan to take back home with them. Prices at this time are the highest, because the demand is the highest, and hotel space can be difficult to find.
For the nature lover wishing to travel during the "green" times, however, they often select the lush, off-peak season. Their reward is not only more verdant surroundings, but in some cases, greatly discounted rates. For that reason, the green season has become associated with the discount season, and some of your best values can be found at this time. While it is possible that it could rain for extended periods of time, the rule that it may rain just an hour or two a day, freshening and cooling the air.
