This past weekend I was searching for deals to get some friends down here for a visit and it reminded me that the Costa Rica green season started over a month ago. During this time of the year, from May 1st and until December 1st you can get really cheap deals on airfare and hotel rates all over Costa Rica. Green season is the time of the year where the Costa Rica rainforest can be explored at its maximum and although some people may think that rainy season is unbearable (specially with the past storms) not all the Costa Rican locations are affected.
It is important to pay close attention to the quality of fishing during the green season: Costa Rica is well known for amazing sports fishing; Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast is actually quite dry this time of the year and the best months for tarpon fishing on this area are September and October.
It is also a good opportunity to come and check out locations, especially if you are planning on following my steps and moving to Costa Rica: cheap rates can be taken advantage of during this time of the year, especially if you are planning on doing business in Costa Rica. Real Estate is accessible and who knows, you might even get lucky and find the property you dream of in the Costa Rica paradise.
Also, I was planning on taking my friends on a couple of tours to get to know the place a little (I do plan on convincing my friends on moving to Costa Rica, this place is just too great). There are actually many places to visit once you find cheap flights to Costa Rica. Travel throughout San Jose City may not be the best bet, yet there are many museums, theaters, shows and activities. Costa Rica has that special way where you can easily find entertainment and awesome tours all year long.
So go ahead and browse around. I’m pretty sure you will be thanking me later for the word of advice.
