Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, which visitors will hear often. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, so timing a trip by coast matters. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts, which gives day trips from the Escazú area a wildlife dimension.
