As Christmas approaches in the North and the climate is getting colder and colder, here in Costa Rica we’re saying “Adios” to the rainy days and welcoming long days of sunshine and warmth. As a nation known for its perpetual summer with an annual “Green Season” marked by occasional rain clouds and drizzles, Costa Rica is slowly awakening from a several month-long slumber. As Costa Rica transitions from its Green Season to the High Season, we’re trading afternoon showers for full sunshine.

High season is upon us, which means the team at Costa Rica First Class Villas is busy preparing for the upcoming tourism season as visitors from across the globe will travel over the next few months in search of sunny beaches, lingering sunsets, perfect temperature ocean water and the authentic Costa Rican experience.
