Central America

Costa Rica

Rainforest mornings. Pacific evenings. A little adventure, a little closer.

A little wild. Entirely your pace.

Follow a forest trail in the morning. Let a warm spring take care of the afternoon. Then trade the canopy for the coast, and leave a few days beautifully unplanned.

A Costa Rica trip can hold both adventure and time to slow down. The pleasure is in giving each place enough room — and choosing the parts you want to share. For a honeymoon, an anniversary or time away together, start with the landscape and let the route follow.

A suspension bridge through the Costa Rican forest — Take the long way through the trees.

Begin with the green.

Go inland for forest walks, volcano landscapes and the kind of quiet that still has a soundtrack.

La Fortuna & Arenal

Make space for a walk through the forest and a soak in warm mineral water. A hanging-bridge walk or a guided trail can give the morning a little adventure; keep the afternoon for a long lunch and time together.

Monteverde

Slow down in the cloud forest. Cooler air, mist and forest trails give this part of the journey a different rhythm. Go with a naturalist, look closely, and let the small things hold your attention.

Find a place to stay

Evening light along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast — Room for a slower afternoon.

Then let the coast take over.

Leave the last part of the trip for salt air, long conversations and somewhere you’re happy to stay awhile.

Guanacaste & the Nicoya Peninsula

Stay a little longer.

A place to anchor the coastal part of your trip, with space to settle into your own rhythm.

Choose your coast. Then your season.

The weather follows the landscape. Plan around the part of Costa Rica you want to explore.

The Pacific

December to March is the main dry season, with April a transition month. May to October is wetter; September and October are typically the rainiest. A green-season trip can still be rewarding when you leave room to adjust outdoor plans.

The Caribbean

Rain follows a different rhythm here, with no clearly defined dry season. February–March and September–October tend to be relatively drier periods along the coast. Choose your dates around your route, rather than a country-wide weather rule.

Seasonal guidance: Costa Rica Tourism.

More than one Costa Rica

The country’s seven tourism regions range from the Northern Plains and Central Valley to Guanacaste, Puntarenas, the Central and South Pacific, and the Caribbean. You do not need to fit them all into one trip. Pick a few places that feel different from one another, and allow time for the journeys between them.

Days worth making space for

Follow a guide through the forest, look for birds, kayak or take a coastal boat trip. Choose activities around your comfort and the conditions that day. Wildlife is part of the experience, but never a promise; a slower walk often reveals more than a busy schedule.

A wedding with a sense of place

Begin with the setting you want to share: the coast, a garden or the green interior. Then work through guest travel, a weather backup and time together before and after the celebration. Your advisor and local wedding team can help you compare venues and confirm the requirements for your chosen ceremony.
