Costa Rica

The dry season's pleasant weather and little to no rain is perfect for beach days and outdoor activities. It is also a peak season with higher costs.

Green, a.k.a. Rainy season is quite long, with rains almost every day. Some times they are short, other times can pour all day. But the rainforests are especially lush and wildlife rich, so it's still a good season to vistit if you are prepared. The rainiest months are September and October. November is a transition month with frequent but short rainfalls.

Nature Lover's Paradise

Costa Rica – Nature Lover's Paradise

Take a boat taxi from your hotel to tranquil Tortuguero village. Enjoy a walk through the village, stop by local souvenir shops or try some of the local delicious food.

Tortuguero Village

Navigate the jungle canals of Tortuguero National Park, a sanctuary for turtles, monkeys, and countless bird species. It's a place where the rhythms of nature dictate the pace of life.

Tortuguero

Tortuguero is a remote village accessible only by boat or plane. Boat transfer is often provided by your hotel, so we don't recommend arranging this transfer before you book your stay.

While flight might seem like a faster option, we strongly encourage taking a boat – a safer, cheaper, and much more scenic route. Park your car at La Pavona Harbour for the duration of your stay ($10/day), and enjoy the nature of Tortuguero National Park.

While flight might seem like a faster option, we strongly encourage taking a boat – a safer, cheaper, and much more scenic route.

Another reason we discourage traveling by plane is a few tragic recent crashes, along with outdated local flight industry regulations in Costa Rica.
