December - April

The driest climate and the best months for bird-watching are between February and April. Temperatures at this altitude remain in the mid 20°Cs, although the areas around San Isidro Del General are noticeably warmer and you’ll encounter mostly tropical rainforest as you descend towards the coastal area of Dominical.

May - November

It can rain at any time here but most precipitation falls between May – November, which awakens the most lush and verdant foliage. This ‘green’ season is quieter in terms of visitor numbers and can be cool at night.
