Costa Rica experiences a temperate tropical climate with two distinct seasons:
Dry Season (December to April): Characterized by little to no rain, making it ideal for beach activities and exploration.
Green Season (May to November): Mornings are generally sunny, followed by late afternoon showers. The countryside becomes lush, and there are fewer tourists.
No, travelers must show proof of onward travel. This can be a return ticket or a ticket to another destination. Without this, entry may be denied.
Costa Rica has two international airports:
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO): Located in Alajuela, near the capital city, San José.
Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR): Situated in Liberia, Guanacaste province.
Additionally, there are several domestic airports serviced by local airlines like Nature Air and Sansa.
Not necessarily. While September and October typically see the most rain, showers are often limited to late afternoon thunderstorms lasting one or two hours. Mornings are usually sunny. Traveling during this season offers benefits like discounted hotel rates and vibrant landscapes.
All passengers on outbound flights are required to pay a $28 departure tax, payable in cash or by credit card at the airport. If departing the country overland or by sea, the departure tax is waived.
Yes, Costa Rica is considered LGBTQ+-friendly. Same-sex marriage is legal, and there are anti-discrimination laws in place. Major cities and tourist areas are generally welcoming, but it's always good to exercise discretion in more rural areas.
Spanish is the official language. However, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, making it relatively easy for non-Spanish speakers to navigate.
In many parts of Costa Rica, especially in urban areas, tap water is safe to drink. However, in remote or rural regions, it's advisable to drink bottled or filtered water to avoid potential health issues.
Yes, ATMs are widely available in cities and tourist areas. They dispense Costa Rican colóns and sometimes U.S. dollars. It's a good idea to carry some cash, especially when traveling to remote areas where ATMs might be scarce.
Embarking on a tour of Costa Rica in 2025 promises a blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
