Finally after months of unstopping rains, storms and terrible floods the weather in Costa Rica is changing and the Christmas winds are here for good. In Costa Rica they have what they call “vientos alicios” and their main function is to literally blow away all the rainy clouds and let the sun shine.

 

In Costa Rica, holidays have a special characteristic: during the month of December the best weather can enjoyed all over the place from Guanacaste to Puntarenas the sun shines brightly but the cool breeze of the “vientos alicios” makes a chilly ambience that everyone enjoys.

 

Also this is the time when Costa Rica travel becomes more and more fun: the weather and the holidays are the perfect excuse to get away from the awful traffic in San Jose. Costa Rica also has an awesome tradition: tamales! Families gather together to cook huge badges (or piñas like people in Costa Rica call them) which are usually just delicious.

 

This is a great time to visit Costa Rica; real estate listings are definitely bigger this time of year since people also want to start making changes and the weather in Costa Rica this time of the year is perfect for sightseeing and house hunting. Costa Rica expects to continue having these wonderful days until late April 2009, although the Christmas breeze is usually gone during the first weeks of January. So go ahead and start making plans to visit different properties and locations now that there will be no rain to delay your plans. Purchasing real estate in Costa Rica cannot be easier now that you can actually appreciate all the beauty of the surroundings in any Costa Rica property.
