BEST VISITING MONTHS

Costa Rica has two distinct seasons that shape its travel experience throughout the year: the dry season (December to April) and the rainy season, or "green season" (May to November).

Dry Season (December to April): This is the most popular time to visit Costa Rica, especially along the Pacific coast, where the weather is reliably sunny and warm with little to no rain. Temperatures range from the high 70s to low 90s Fahrenheit, depending on the region, making it ideal for beach outings, hiking, and exploring the country's rich natural beauty. During this season, many festivals and events take place, making it a lively time to visit.

Rainy Season (May to November): Often called the "green season" due to the lush landscapes it creates, the rainy season brings more frequent showers, particularly in the afternoons. However, mornings are often clear, allowing for activities earlier in the day. Temperatures remain warm, and the rain refreshes Costa Rica’s verdant forests, rivers, and waterfalls. September and October see the heaviest rains, especially on the Pacific side, but these months are actually the coast’s drier season, providing a great alternative for travelers. The green season offers lower prices, fewer crowds, and a more tranquil experience with vibrant, green landscapes.

The restaurant also promotes sustainable seafood, encouraging guests to opt for locally sourced catches to reduce the environmental costs of importing seafood over long distances. This approach aligns with the Slow Food principles of "good, clean, and fair" food, which values quality, environmental health, and respect for the labor and traditions involved in food production.
