Costa Rica (哥斯达黎加) is not a traditional northern country. Here you do not have the turn of four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only has two seasons: dry season and wet season. So for tourists, when is the best time to go to Costa Rica
Most people like visiting Costa Rica in the dry season. The sun shines brightly almost every day from December to April and people won’t get wet. This allows them to visit more places during the trip.
The best thing to do in Costa Rica in the dry season is to enjoy the beaches. The sunny weather allows people to enjoy the fun beach activities like swimming and surfing (冲浪). If you want quieter beaches perfect for swimming, you can visit the Gulf of Papagayo (帕帕加约海湾) and Peninsula Papagayo (帕帕加约半岛). If you want beaches perfect for surfing, go to beaches like Tamarindo (塔马林多), Playa Grande (格兰德海滩).
The wet season is also great for vacation. The hotel price is not high and there are much fewer visitors around. In the wet season, Costa Rica shows its green scenery (风景). The rain from May to November helps the rainforest grow. Waterfalls get stronger as more water flows in the rivers. And, you can go out and see all of this.
The wet season doesn’t mean that you can’t leave your hotel. The rain usually comes in the afternoons and the mornings are often sunny and dry. So you are still able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the rainy months of Costa Rica.
So in which season would you like to visit Costa Rica
