When to Go
Generally, Costa Rica & Panama has only two seasons: dry and green. The dry season (late Dec - Apr) is the best time to visit as there is very little rain. The green, or wet season lasts the rest of the year (May - Nov). The early months of the rainy season are an ideal time to travel to Costa Rica when you can avoid the tourist bustle.
