Winter 2024 in Costa Rica

As a tropical country, Costa Rica has only two seasons – a rainy season which is summer and a dry season which occurs from November to May. Temperatures remain stable all year round but there are definite advantages to visiting in the season – hire a car to visit Playa Jaco, a vibrant beach town, where you can take advantage of the beach and water activities as well as the lively nightlife. The dry season is also a good time to visit national parks such as Corcovada on the Osa Peninsula.
