Costa Rica is Fabulous in Rainy Season!

Costa Rica 007
Julien near Manuel Antonio National Park

This is our son Julien when he was four years old. We took two weeks to travel through Costa Rica in September, during the rainy season. It’s a great time of year to go because you avoid the crowds, and the rains mostly came in the afternoon, around 3 p.m., once we had finished our day’s activities. We enjoyed seeing lizards and monkeys on the beach at Manuel Antonio National Park.

We rented a car and drove from there to plenty of other locations along the same stretch of ocean, and then went inland to visit and hike around the volcano, splurging a little on a beautiful resort there. Seafood, sand, volcanoes, swimming pools, and riding on cables through thick rainforest. Costa Rica is gorgeous and has a lot to offer.
