July in Costa Rica

Perfect window for an active summer holiday

Arguably the best month to travel to Costa Rica, especially the Pacific and the Osa Peninsula, with hot sunny days to enjoy the beach and cooling rains later on. From mid-July to early August, there is a 2-3 week window of lovely weather - like a mini dry season but with cooler temperatures and more greenery. In the centre, there is some rain but temperatures are very nice. On the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, July is firmly within the rainy season, though rains here tend to fall late in the day. Late July and August offer the green season's best weather and, as it's not a peak time for travel to Costa Rica, this is a good-value destination for families on UK school holidays.
