Normally people travel to Costa Rica during Dry Season where everything’s sunny and pretty much alive, but it can get to be a little too much for some travellers. Once you get to enjoy this country with a little bit of rain, you’ll discover its charm and won’t want Green Season to end!
Here Asuaire Travel Agency shares with you eight true reasons why Green Season is secretly the best time to visit Costa Rica:

1. Lush rainforest grows intensely
You’ve never truly experienced such vibrant and intense vegetation until you visit Costa Rica’s rainforests during Rainy Season!
It tends to rain almost every afternoon, so thanks to this, plants absorb much more water and grow in a real obvious way all over the country. You’ll even find vegetation growing in between concrete in the streets. It’s beautiful!
The weather becomes cooler than dry season which is nicer for people who are not loving real heavy warm weather. Perfect for hiking through the lush rainforest!
2. Summer shines in the Caribbean
There’s a real interesting fact about Costa Rica’s weather. Did you know that you can be in the city of San José enjoying a regular sunny day, but then, if you drive down 20 minutes towards the Caribbean you’ll find a total opposite weather? Cloudy forest with enormous green leaves hanging over the road, like in Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo.
Basically, when it starts raining all around the country it’s probably sunny in the South Caribbean Coast. Interesting, right?
