Important Information

The trip destination
    Food
    Hotel breakfasts are normally buffets, and lunches and dinners at Tortuguero are also buffets. Vegetarian and vegan options are limited but food is plentiful and tasty – please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Costa Rican specialities include gallo pinto, a black bean and rice dish, which is a staple part of the local diet. Soups and stews are also common, and fresh fruit is abundant and will no doubt be one of the highlights of your time in the tropics.
    Weather

    Costa Rica is 10 degrees north of the equator and has a tropical climate. The average annual temperature is around 26C (79F) in the lowlands and 10C (50F) in the highest mountain regions. However, it’s essential you prepare for the time of year in which your departure takes place.

    Dry season (December to April): This is the driest period of the year and can get incredibly hot; on the Pacific side, temperatures may exceed 37C (98F). If passing through areas of dry tropical forest it can be hot, dusty and dry. Prepare for some rain even during this time of year.

    Green season (May to November): Expect sunny mornings, lush landscapes and short afternoon downpours, usually between 3pm-5pm. Rainfall keeps the forests vibrant, waterfalls flowing and wildlife active, while showers often clear by 6pm, leaving plenty of time to explore. Fewer visitors can also make this a rewarding time to travel.

    Is this trip for you?

    This trip is graded Activity Level 2 (Easy & Moderate) with a Wildlife Rating of Four. Visit our Wildlife Holidays page for more on our Wildlife Ratings. For more information on our trip gradings please visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Driving: Most of the roads we travel on are good quality. However, the road that leads to the river on the way to and from Tortuguero has a poor surface and this can result in slow driving times, particularly following heavy rain. There are also some longer drives on the itinerary; when rest stops and meal breaks are taken into account, a four-hour drive may take six to seven hours in total. Drake Bay and Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula are two of the most remote areas we visit on this itinerary – there is very limited road access or facilities in these areas and we will use boats as the main form of transportation.

    Walks: There are several included and optional walks on the itinerary that occasionally involve walking on rough paths. These are suitable for most fitness levels and usually last between two to four hours. Walks in the Savegre Valley are at an altitude above 7,000ft (2,100m) and involve some short but steep sections of ascent and descent. During times of heavy rain, trails can be muddy and slippery and extra care should be taken. Many of the areas visited on the trip are hot and humid (such as Cahuita National Park on days 4-6) and there is the chance of heavy rain year-round – this is why Costa Rica is so green.

    Swimming: The sea waters in the Tortuguero and Cahuita regions have very strong rip currents and are not suitable for swimming from the beach.
