About me
Having held various management positions in areas such as research and product, and having been a tour guide for over twenty-five years in fields as varied as corporate tourism, incentives, student groups, seniors and customized itineraries for high income individuals, I not only know the Central American territory inside out, but more importantly, I know the market. I am constantly researching trends in the travel industry and I know that the current movement of travelers is towards the experience and how to live it better. The creation of the texts has to be in line with that idea. Beyond the use of cute metaphors, the contents of your website have to get to the core of this way of traveling.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
The optimization of texts for search engines is a continuous work that, by creating constancy, has very positive effects on the visitation of potential customers to your site. It is not only the creation of well-written texts, or the insertion of researched and corroborated keywords, but it is also perseverance that achieves this in an organic and very effective way. It is slow, but valuable and efficient.

Understanding the weather on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and its patterns is essential for making the most of your visit. Join us as we talk about the climate of this stunning coastline, highlighting the best times to experience its breathtaking scenery and rich biodiversity.
Tortuguero in the North Caribbean of Costa Rica | Weather on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica
In this podcast and blog, we will discuss the weather of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, which has contributed to its understated, underrated, and unrecognized status as an amazing off-the-beaten-track destination. areas that we can talk fully about. But today I’m here to talk about its weather.
The weather on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is unquestionably tropical, with a lot of rain, scorching heat, high humidity, and a lot of mosquitoes. So let me tell you a little bit about the weather on the Caribbean coast. First of all, let’s talk about seasons.
Manzanillo in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica | Weather on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica
When we talk about seasons in Costa Rica, of course, we talk about the dry season and the rainy season. As most people already know, in Costa Rica and Central America, the rainy season extends from May to November, while the sunny season begins in December and lasts until early May. However, this is true around the central part of the country, the Pacific coast, and certainly the north Pacific area.
But when talking about the Caribbean, it is almost unpredictable. If you ask the locals, they will tell you that there are three seasons we can discuss: February and March, which are the sunny season. And then from April all the way to September, it will be raining and raining.

And then in September and October, the rains pause to the point that the carnival of the Caribbean coast of Limon is in October because it’s considered to be the quotations summer of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. However, if you take a look at the numbers, not as much. It rains as much as anywhere else.
Having said this, probably the rainiest times that I felt as a tour guide myself -and I worked for a long time in the North Caribbean area-, were in December. Also January, part of January. But December was very dramatic.
Let’s discuss the reasons for visiting the Caribbean and the optimal time to visit.
As I mentioned earlier, I aim to make this monthly guide as dynamic as possible, but you can also access it at the end of this blog.
Also, let’s talk about January.
January brings temperatures from 75 to 84 fahrenheit, which is 24 to 29 degrees Celsius. This pattern persists throughout the entire year. It doesn’t change much, so I’m going to skip it. then in terms of rain, it changes.
It goes for 7.9 inches. In February, it’s 5.9. So it makes it much lower rain in February.
If you look at March, it’s 3.9 inches of rain. Now, when we move forward to April, the rainfall increases to 5.9 inches. Still little, still not so dramatic.
May goes higher, 11.8 inches. And then, when it begins, well, actually, June is 11.8 inches, and July is 9.8. It calms down.
Good for watching the turtles. Remember, July is the month to see the turtles. And then August is 11.8.
September experiences a dramatic increase to 15.7 inches of rain. Average, same as October; super rainy. And then November goes down to 11.8.
Contrary to what I just told you, December has 7.9 inches of rain. The problem with rain in Costa Rica is that we must think about a couple of things. First of all, it doesn’t rain the whole day.
Manzanillo Beach | Weather on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica
It rarely. Unless there is like a hurricane on the Caribbean or we’re getting the tail of a storm or something like that, then it may rain the whole day, but it usually doesn’t. When we’re talking about the Caribbean on the other side, it’s unpredictable.
It’s just unpredictable. You just never know. In my experience, whenever there is a cold front from the north, we’ll get a lot of rain.
When there is a hurricane, we’ll get a lot of rain. When there is a tail of a storm, we’ll get a lot of rain. The good news here are many on the other side.
First of all, nature benefits from rain. Rain makes nature lush, beautiful, and extremely biodiverse. So this is a place where nature is thriving.
It’s amazing. It grows everywhere. It’s unstoppable.
Tortuguero National Park | Weather on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica
And this lusciousness makes it an ideal destination for any nature lover, anyone who truly loves to see nature in its essential state.
At its very core, this is tropical nature at its best. Either you make it into Tortuguero in the northern Caribbean with the canals and you go by boat or by kayak into the rainforest, or either you go to the south and you go to Cahuita or Puerto Viejo, Cocos, or Manzanillo.
In all of these regions, you will witness a lot of wildlife; you will witness huge trees and amazing buttress roots. Furthermore, these regions have a distinct culture from the rest of the nation. That is completely worth it to pay a visit to it.
I’m going to get into all of this later on in this same series. I just want you to acknowledge that the rain is, in fact, warm. It’s not like you get wet and you’re freezing.
No, you’ll get wet, and you’ll like it. It’s. It’s fun, mostly.
All the time. It is just a lot of fun. So don’t get scared by the rain.
The pouring tropical rain is just an amazing thing to behold, and I think Costa Rica is blessed by having so much rain.
So, enjoy the rain and don’t let it scare you off. From the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, it may rain, and I hope it does.
It is an amazing thing to watch. So enjoy whatever you’re doing now. Enjoy wherever you are, enjoy the now, and have a great present moment.
