Pure Adventure in Costa Rica – A Green Season Special (May-November 2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n Join us this Summer or Fall for an exhilarating adventure in gorgeous Costa Rica, sampling the country’s finest outdoor adventures, while staying in comfortable mid-range hotels and lodges. This is a great trip for couples, friends and families with teenage children looking to see Costa Rican wildlife and enjoy some true adrenaline outdoor sports like rafting, ziplines, and canyoning. May through November is a fine time to visit Costa Rica and save some money by traveling in the “green season.” While rain can happen almost any day, typically mornings are fresh and clear, with only a brief thunderstorm in the afternoons and a steady, relaxing drizzle at night while you sleep.\u00a0 September and October are the rainiest months on the Pacific side \u2013 especially for families or couples looking for a romantic trip, we\u2019d generally recommend a visit to the dry Caribbean side of the country instead during those 2 months. No matter when you can go, don\u2019t hesitate to join us and experience some of the best outdoor fun that Costa Rica has to offer!<\/em><\/p>\n *** Remember all of our trips can be customized for you!
