Top Reasons Why You’ll Love Costa Rica’s Caribbean this Summer

/ /szerzõ:

The South Caribbean has a Special Micro Climate

Many people don’t know that the weather on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica is quite different than on the Pacific coast. While other regions of Costa Rica have seasonal rains, the rain is spread out consistently on the Caribbean side. On any given day, the rain may be very brief or it may be abundant, offering a breathtaking rainforest experience. Thankfully, showers usually happen at night or late in the afternoon and the sun shines almost every day. Year round the temperature hovers at 80 degrees and it lowers to around 70 degrees at night. Because Samasati is on a hill, 600 feet above the sea level, the breeze from the sea keeps our micro climate very pleasant. Learn more →
