The Best Time to Visit Guanacaste
Guanacaste has two main seasons: the dry season and the green season. The dry season between December and April is perfect for sunny beach days, while the green season from May to November is great for lush greenery and fewer crowds. Peninsula Papagayo is home to a tropical dry forest so it is one of the driest areas in Costa Rica.
That said, September and October are the rainiest months. So, choose your luxury vacation time wisely. My personal favorite months at Peninsula Papagayo are November and July. By November, the rains are pretty much done, and the forests are lush and green. It is heaven! In July, there is usually a 2 week “Indian Summer” with no rain. Even if there is rain, it would generally be a light shower in the afternoon.
Things to Do in Guanacaste
For a day of pure relaxation, take a dip in the crystal clear waters of Playa Conchal, one of the region’s most famous beaches. Or, for nature-lovers, explore the stunning wildlife refuges and national parks that Guanacaste has to offer, like the Rincon de la Vieja National Park or the Palo Verde National Park.
If you’re looking for a thrill, try out some of the region’s amazing adventure touring activities, like ziplining through the rainforest or whitewater rafting down the Tenorio River. No matter what you choose to do in Guanacaste, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience full of fun and adventure.
