4. Costa Rica
• Costa Rica is a rugged, rain forested Central
American country with coastlines on the
Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San
Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the
Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica is
known for its beaches, volcanoes and
immense biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its
area is made up of protected jungle, rich with
wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal
birds.

5. Costa Rica
December-April
• The main attraction of the high season is the weather. It is
less likely that it will rain even in the rainforest, and in some
areas, notably Guanacaste and Nicoya it’s downright arid.
Wildlife can be easier to spot as it concentrates around
shrinking water sources and the deciduous trees drop their
leaves thinning the camouflage.
• The main disadvantage of traveling to Costa Rica while it’s
snowing up north is that it is the tourist high season. It is
harder to get reservations, everything is relatively crowded
and the prices are higher. From Christmas until the end of
the first week in January, and Easter week are double
jeopardy periods with lots of international travelers, and
many Ticos traveling (the beaches are especially crowded).
