The kids are out of school so why not start your summer with the ultimate summer vacation with the family! Visiting Costa Rica during the low season, also known as the “green season” can be a fantastic idea for several reasons!

Lower Prices: One of the most compelling reasons to visit during the low season is the cost savings. Accommodation, flights, and tour packages are often significantly cheaper during this time. You can enjoy all the beauty and adventure Costa Rica has to offer without breaking the bank.

Fewer Crowds: Costa Rica is a popular tourist destination, especially during the high season. Visiting during the low season means you’ll encounter fewer tourists, allowing you to explore the country’s natural wonders in a more peaceful and private setting. You’ll have the beaches, rainforests, and attractions all to yourself in many cases.

Lush Green Landscape: The low season is called the “green season” for a reason. This time of year sees frequent rainfall, which keeps the landscape vibrant and lush. The rain rejuvenates the rainforests, fills rivers and waterfalls, and turns the countryside into a stunning tapestry of green.

Better Wildlife Viewing: The increased rainfall during the low season encourages wildlife activity. Many animals are more active, and you’ll have a higher chance of spotting them. Birdwatching, in particular, can be exceptional during this time.

Great for Surfers: If you’re into surfing, the low season is ideal. The increased rainfall can result in bigger and more consistent waves along the Pacific coast, making it a surfer’s paradise.

Refreshing Showers: While it’s called the “rainy season,” the rain in Costa Rica often falls in short, heavy showers in the afternoon or evening. These refreshing showers can provide a break from the heat and can be quite enjoyable.

Availability: Since there are fewer tourists, you’re more likely to find available reservations for popular activities, tours, and accommodations. You’ll have greater flexibility in planning your itinerary.

Quicker Border Crossings: If you’re combining your trip with neighboring countries like Nicaragua or Panama, border crossings are likely to be faster and less crowded during the low season.

Supporting Local Communities: Traveling during the low season can have a positive impact on local communities. Many rely heavily on tourism, and your visit during the off-peak times can help support them economically.

While the low season in Costa Rica does come with the possibility of rain, it’s essential to note that it doesn’t rain all day, every day. Mornings are often sunny and clear, with rain showers typically occurring in the late afternoon or evening. With proper planning, such as packing rain gear and scheduling outdoor activities in the morning, you can make the most of your visit and enjoy all the benefits of visiting this beautiful country during the low season.
