Is February Good Month to Visit Costa Rica?

If you're planning a February vacation to Costa Rica, congratulations! You've picked what’s probably the best month of the year to come down. If you're from the frozen north, Costa Rica in February offers the perfect escape from all that ice and snow. Up north, February feels to many like a drag—that final month before the first green shoots of spring, when Mother Nature hurls her worst at you. The shortest month can feel like the longest.

Not so here in Costa Rica, where we're settling into peak dry season and hot sunny days tempered with cooling breezes are the norm. In fact, February marks the beginning of the warmest, driest part of the year.
