The weather in the North Zone of Costa Rica tends to characterize itself with warm daytime temperatures (low to mid 80's) and relatively high humidity. There are intermittent rain showers that usually pass quickly. From late February to early May, the rain lessens in frequency which allows for fantastic skyscapes during sunrise and sunset.

The ideal way to visit the North Zone is by car. The landscapes as you drive along twisting roads make for incredible photographs. Of the 850 bird species identified in Costa Rica, 600 are permanent residents in their region. Don't forget the binoculars!! Off in the distance one can see the dark green and blue silhouettes of the Guanacaste and Tilaran mountain ranges.
