Costa Rica’s Central Valley enjoys a spring-like climate year round. In the tropical coastal areas the temperature is very warm and humid. Much of Costa Rica is covered by rainforest so expect rain at any time, but the drier season on the Pacific coast and Central Valley is from December to April and the rainier ‘green’ season is from May to November with the heaviest rainfall being in September and October. Christmas, New Year and Easter are incredibly popular so it is best to book well in advance.
Tortuguero can be visited year round for wildlife. The Green Sea and Hawksbill turtle’s nesting season runs from July to October with the peak in August, and the Leatherback turtles nest from February to April. The Caribbean side of the Cordillera Central has a different weather pattern to the Pacific. Tortuguero’s ‘drier’ season is February to June and September and October however being tropical please expect showers at any time.
