Caribbean coastline
When one thinks of tropical vacations, powdery white sand beaches, crystalline turquoise waters and swaying coconut palm trees come to mind.
Vacationers can find these idyllic setting in many places around the globe and tourists flock to places like the Caribbean islands, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia and the Seychelles and Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

The rainforests and tropical waters of Costa Rica are rich in all kinds of wildlife. Species from both North and South America can be found there, along with some that can only be seen in the Caribbean. It’s estimated that there are more than half a million species in the area- plants, insects, birds, reptiles, fish, mammals and amphibians. It would take years to experience all that, so visitors have to pick and choose what to see.

Because Costa Rica is a tropical country, it doesn’t have the four seasons that most of us are used to. Instead there is just two- the dry season and the wet season.
The dry season (known locally as Verano) for most of the country runs from December to April or May, and the rest of the year (Invierno) is usually wetter.
