Costa Rica sits within Central America and enjoys a tropical climate, with the dry season generally falling between December and April. Food across the region leans on fresh seafood and tropical fruit, both widely available in local markets. The islands are reached by flights and ferries from the mainland, and Spanish is the main language spoken, so a few basic phrases help with daily errands. Tamarindo is one nearby place that visitors often combine with a trip to the capital.
