Many people hear the words Rainy Season and are afraid to Vacation in Costa Rica during the North American Summer. Have no fear. The Green Season (a much more tourist friendly term for rainy season) offers many advantages for North American travelers.
Generally speaking there are fewer crowds, lower prices for tours and accommodations, and great airfare specials during the green season. Along the Pacific Coast the green season is truly green. The hillside regain the bright greens that tourists expect during a tropical vacation.
Although when it comes to weather there are no guarantees, generally speaking, even in the green season much of every day is sunny on the Pacific Coast until early afternoon. In the mountains a rainy morning gives way to a sunny afternoon and evening. Frequently the rain showers are short and light providing a nice break from the heat. Some of my best beach days have included short periods of light rain.
I almost forgot about the rainbows. The light showers bring the most beautiful rainbows. Rainbows in the mountains, rainbows at the beach, rainbows over the marina. The rainbows of Costa Rica are definitely a sight to see.
