Good to know before visiting Costa Rica
Best times to visit
The dry season, from December to April, is the best time for outdoor adventures and beach activities. The rainy season (May to November) offers lush green landscapes, but expect daily showers, especially in the afternoon.
Language
Spanish is the official language, but English is commonly spoken in tourist areas. Learning basic Spanish phrases like “hola” (hello) and “gracias” (thank you) is helpful and appreciated by locals.
Transportation
Renting a car is ideal for exploring Costa Rica’s diverse regions, but be prepared for rough roads in rural areas. Public buses are an affordable alternative, and domestic flights connect remote destinations quickly.
Eco-friendliness
Costa Rica is a global leader in sustainability. Respect the environment by following eco-friendly practices, such as avoiding single-use plastics and staying on marked trails in national parks.
