When is a good time for a vacation in Costa Rica? [top]
We recommend any time a year to visit our country. Costa Rica has a very consistent tropical weather year round. During our dry season (December through April) The daytime average temperature in Turrialba Valley is 83° and along the Pacific and Caribbean coast the temperature varies from 72° to 90's. During our rainy season (May through November), it is sunny and warm during the morning but gets cloudy with showers in the late afternoon.
Come and enjoy the beautiful beaches, untouched tropical rain forest, majestic active volcanoes and the nice warm water of this tropical paradise.
What should I bring? Getting Ready for your trip. [top]
To enter Costa Rica, you will need a valid passport. All the citizens of Canada, US and Western Europe countries do not need a visa for a 90-day stay. For most of the Eastern Europe and Latin America countries can stay 30 days without a visa. We recommend to check with the Costa Rica Embassy if you are unsure of your visa requirements for a longer stay. We also recommend bringing a copy of your passport.
We strongly recommend:
- Sun block (water proof)
- Sun hat
- Insect repellent
- Sun glasses
- Sandals
- Tennis shoes for hiking
- Small binoculars
- Camera
- Spanish / English dictionary
- Medications (any prescription medication you may have)
Luggage [top]
Bring a few pairs of quick drying shorts, light pants, T-shirts that are easy to dry and your bathing suit. Shirts can be short sleeved and long sleeved for protection against the sun and bugs. In general, you will normally be comfortable in shorts and T-shirts during the day, and long pants and a shirt at night. We recommend bringing a rain coat for rainy days and a long sleeved sweater for higher elevations. We also recommend bringing a camera, binoculars, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, hat, sandals with ankle straps, hiking tennis shoes and a strap to secure your glasses. If you are an experienced bike rider, we invite you to bring your own cycling shoes and pedals. We can install your pedals on our mountain bikes for an even better ride!
