The Green Season - Perfect for a vacation
PERFECT TO VISIT COSTA RICA

The months of May, September, October & November are the four months 
that many tourists don't realize means savings, tranquility and beauty.

Picture

This small & fast developing nation is situated beside Panama in the southern part of the isthmus of Central America and can rightfully boast of outrageous natural beauty, and warm and friendly people. 
The FUN opportunities are endless in this exotic paradise! 

Picture


Costa Rica’s green (AKA rainy) season, runs from May to November — and apart from the mid year summer vacations, in months May, September, October & November, tourists typically steer clear, holding out instead for the dry season from December to April.
But don’t let the green season scare you off. It’s actually the right time to visit. Here’s why...

Picture
1. More Rain Equals More Life
Frequent showers and high humidity are a given during the country’s rainy season, but so are cooler temperatures, an explosion of vibrant flora and fauna, and an abundance of emerging wildlife from Tortuguero to Monteverde, Manuel Antonio & The Central Valley. In the rainforest, now more lush and exuberant than at any other time of year, you can see exotic beauties like the red-eyed tree frog and and the three toed sloth.

2. A Few Showers Might Even Make Your Trip
Keep in mind that while rain is more frequent in the green season, it often comes and goes quickly, and there can be days at a time where it doesn’t rain at all. Mornings are usually sunny and warm, with plenty of time to hit the beaches and pools. Still, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to experience the magic of being in a rainforest during a rainstorm, with massive leaves glistening around you and everything buzzing. After ziplining through tree canopies, over streams, and mountains of treetops, pray for rain. It’s fantastically erry walking in the  the mist and warm rain of the rainforests.

3. Lower Rates and Lighter Crowds
From coffee estate tours to zipline adventures, Costa Rica’s most popular activities are more private in green season, when crowds are lighter than in the dry, high season or mid year northern summer season. You’ll also spend a good deal less on air tickets and accommodations, with many hotels and vacation condos discounting rates by 20 to 30 percent or more. And more last minute bookings are easier to get. 

Parklands Suggestion:
1. Grab an air ticket deal
2. Grab a vacation condo deal
3. Grab Parklands to plan fun activities
