Yes, That Includes Rainy/ Green/ Low Season!!

Green Season in Costa Rica can be so much fun! I know it isn’t the most popular season to travel to CR and you have probably heard that it rains a lot and there is no much to do. And let me tell you, this is far away from the true. 

As a matter of fact, the weather in Costa Rica is marvelous all year long. This Country doesn’t have the seasons that you probably are used to. That means no typical summer, spring, fall, and winter. Instead, Costa Rica has only two seasons and they are both amazing. Their names describe them perfectly: Dry and Rainy season also known as low or green season. That’s it. 

Dry season goes from Mid November to late April, the weather is gorgeous, the sun is bright, air is dry and it doesn’t rain. During this time of the year Tamarindo’ sky is blue and its vegetation looks a bit dry but the vibes are great, Surf is up, there are lots of people, parties and tons of things to do. This is the most touristic time in Tamarindo. 

On the other hand, there is the rainy season. It starts on May and goes until mid-November, being the last months of the season where it rains the most. For many people, this is the most beautiful season of all. It will usually rain once a day, the sky isn’t as blue as in dry season and you might see some clouds, but, believe me, the temperatures are just perfect!  And even dry season is pretty nice, rainy season must not be underestimated.

Here are top 5 reasons why green season is beyond doubt a LOVELY time to come to Tamarindo 

1. Everything Is Bright Green

During dry season not a drop of rain falls, trees will look brown and dry, kind of desert-like, and although it is also beautiful, If what you want to experience is the “jungle scene”, meaning all lush green everywhere, then rainy season is the time for you to visit Tamarindo, and if you are planning to live here, you will love this season as well. All the flowers blossom and all the nature is green and gorgeous. It really has the feeling of being surrounded by tropical jungle

2. If you are traveling, some things might be cheaper

Rainy season is also known as low season and some things can be cheaper during this time. Many businesses have green season sales during these months. This is a great reason to take advantage and do a little bit of traveling around Costa Rica

3. Fresh, Nice, Just Perfect Temperature

Warm weather is nice, hot, hot weather can be difficult to bear. This season is amazing because you will still enjoy a warm weather, but you will have nice refreshing winds, especially in the afternoon

4. No Crowds

Given is low season, there are not many tourists around. Big crowds decrease during this time, so its perfect for some alone time at the beach!

5. Surreal Sunsets

Sunsets during the rainy season are absolutely breathtaking, they look like pieces of art. There is no best way to explain it than with pictures!!

So, next time you are thinking which time is best to come visit Costa Rica, think no more, it all depends on your personal taste, but for sure, there is something for everyone all year long.
