What is the Green Season?

The Green Season is Costa Rica’s rainy season but, in a country known for its rainforests and lush green landscapes — rainfall just makes it all the more beautiful! Plus, it doesn’t rain all day, the mornings are typically still sunny and perfect for enjoying the beach or going on excursions.

Visiting during the Green Season, which runs May through November offers a unique experience marked by breathtaking natural scenery with everything in bloom and lots of wildlife out and about. You’ll also enjoy special perks not available during the high season.
