Costa Rica's Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, so the timing of a visit shapes what to expect. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other, giving days out a range of options. Costa Rica drives on the right, and intercity buses are the main form of public transport, which is useful for getting around. Whether you come as a pair or a larger group, the bar accommodates different ways of spending the night.
