Frequently asked questions
What's the best time to travel on this program?
The best time to visit depends on your interests and the purpose of your trip. From December through April, Costa Rica enjoys its dry season (summer), which is also the peak travel period. During these months, demand is higher, which may result in reduced availability for some services. That said, Costa Rica offers pleasant weather year-round. From May through November, the country experiences its renowned Green Season, characterized by lush landscapes, fewer visitors, greater service availability, and more attractive rates. While September and October are typically the rainiest months, this does not limit the wide variety of activities and experiences available throughout the country.
Can this program be customized?
Absolutely. This itinerary is intended as a general example of the experiences, activities, and destination combinations that can be enjoyed in Costa Rica. At Destination Costa Rica DMC, we specialize in designing tailor-made travel programs for both individual travelers and groups, adapting each proposal to our clients’ interests, expectations, and budget.

What if the itinerary order changes?
Any changes to the sequence of destinations, activities, or experiences may affect logistics, travel times, and service availability. Depending on the requested modifications, operational adjustments may be required, which could impact the final cost of the program. Our team will be happy to advise you and recommend the best alternatives based on your preferences.
