Costa Rica's tropical climate divides the year, with the dry season generally running December to April and wetter months outside that window. Food across Central American islands leans on fresh seafood and tropical fruit, and Spanish is the everyday language, so a few words help in shops and restaurants. Flights and ferries from the mainland connect the islands, making San José a practical base for reaching both coasts. El boyero sits within that network, in the capital district of San Rafael Arriba de Desamparados.
