What to Expect on a Rainy Day Tour

In La Fortuna, Costa Rica, rain is common during the rainy season (May to November), also known as the green season, but it doesn’t last all day. Most days tend to follow a similar rhythm: early morning hours are often clearer, and showers usually come through in the afternoon for a short period.

This means your tour often starts with clearer conditions, and even if rain comes through, the walk continues as planned. Temperatures stay cooler, and the trail remains accessible throughout the route.
