Sure, it rains in Costa Rica during the autumn months. In many ways, “green season” is the perfect time to visit. Crowds are light, with plenty of opportunity for personal attention and a chance to slow down and enjoy life the Tico way. And here’s the secret: it rarely rains all day, so you’ll still have plenty of time to explore nature and culture — and when the rains come, just hop in a hammock, relax, and enjoy the views while listening to the sounds of the ocean.

To celebrate Green Season, we’ve put together a special itinerary combining a new spot we scouted out for our clients with one of Costa Rica’s most iconic destinations, Manuel Antonio National Park, where you can tour the jungle canopy and embark on a whitewater rafting adventure. You’ll also spend a few days living in Costa Rica’s first and only island tent resort, combining the thrill of an island camping expedition with the creature comforts of an upscale resort. While there you’ll enjoy fresh “net-to-table” cuisine, while spending your days kayaking, hiking, and paddle boarding.
