The Guanacaste Province is located in Costa Rica’s northwest, offering an Eden-like paradise with brilliant blue lagoons, waterfalls, lush jungle, and volcanoes. It’s also home to eight national parks and the Catalina Islands, world-renowned for diving and snorkeling, lying just north of the many resort towns.
The Arenal Volcano is the focus of this region. While the volcano is no longer active, it’s a great place for hiking scenic trails and enjoying soaks in natural hot springs. Mountain biking is possible near the base. It’s also an ideal spot for wildlife watching, including parrots, toucans, and tanagers.
The province of Puntarenas covers nearly a quarter of the country with its coastline filled with beautiful beaches while gem-like islands lie offshore.

The Central Valley has a dry, mild climate, many luxury hotels, and spectacular natural wonders while being easily accessible from San Jose for day trips to see its most popular attractions, Irazu and Poas volcanoes.

There is no bad time to visit Costa Rica, although there are two different seasons to consider, the dry, which runs from December through April, and the green, from May through November. Along the Caribbean coast, it’s typically humid, hot, and rainy year-round, with a short break in September and October. The drier season is the peak tourist season, but many prefer to be here during the wetter season as you can enjoy sunny mornings that are ideal for excursions with afternoon rain showers ideal for rejuvenating. The crowds are fewer, the wildlife more active, and you might find discounted accommodation rates too.
