In the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, there are two distinct seasons.
Dry season and rainy season, which is also known as "green season".
Did you know that green season is the best time of the year to travel to Costa Rica? If you are looking for an inexpensive vacation this summer, consider visiting Costa Rica.
Due to a drop in tourism during the summer months, prices drop drastically on vacation packages during the months of May, June and July.
What this means for you is that not only can you experience the natural beauty of the land of "pura vida" but you can do it for less money then you can for almost any other vacation package during the summer.
If you are worried about what "rainy season" implies, let me explain.
In this region, we have six months with absolutely no rain.
Everything dries up, the air is humid and hot.
The roads are dusty.
For the other half of the year, we have "green season" or rainy season.
When rainy season begins (which is did just about a week ago) we start to get afternoon showers which typically last about an hour or two.
The rain brings with it cooler, fresher air temperatures, all of the plants and trees begin to turn green and everything becomes lush again.
It truly is one of the most beautiful times to see the beaches in Guanacaste! The rainy season is very enjoyable for the first few months, however the rain becomes heavier in August and September and in October it rains non stop.
I would not advise a visit in October! The Guanacaste region is where you will find almost all of the all inclusive resorts in Costa Rica.
All inclusive vacation packages give you the most bang for your buck because the price includes everything you will need to enjoy your vacation.
Food, beverages, activities, tours and roundtrip transportation from the airport in Liberia to your resort.
There are resorts that cater to families, couples looking for romance, golfers and spa lovers and of course, they are all perfect for those of us who are just looking for a week of relaxation spent on a beautiful beach.
Some of the exciting tours that the resorts are now including in their packages (for free) are the most popular tours that the country has to offer - zip lining, day trips to visit the Arenal Volcano and hot springs resort, day trip to Rincon de la Vieja (another one of Costa Rica's active volcanoes), Monteverde Cloud Forest and Butterfly Farm.
As a travel agent, I am excited to share this information with everyone! Being in the travel industry for over 10 years, I know that summer is the hardest time to find a vacation deal and each day I am being sent unbelievable offers from the most luxurious (and typically expensive) resorts with their low green season rates and free tour packages.
