1. What are the weather conditions in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica has a tropical climate with two distinct seasons. The Green Season lasts from May to November. The Gold Season begins in December and continues through April. During the Green Season expect a daily rain shower late in the afternoon or evening which keeps the landscape green. During the Gold Season, virtually no rain falls and the landscape turns a golden brown. In Guanacaste where Pacifico is located, the dry Gold Season tends to last several weeks longer than in other areas of Costa Rica.

Temperatures vary primarily with elevation, not with season; on the coasts, the weather is warm all year, while in the mountains, nights can be cool at any time of the year.
