5. Travel Agent Advice
Out of all four seasons, I would recommend tourists to come during the winter season. I would recommend the winter season because it is part of the dry season, so tourists will experience the most sunshine and best beach weather during these months. Due to the minimal amount of precipitation during this season, two great activities I would recommend to tourists would be to explore the rain forests and to attend Bull fights. The great thing about visiting Costa Rica during the dry/winter season is the fact that between the months of December and March the rainfall is 2.63 inches! This means no having to worry about planning for a rainy vacation because the likelihood of rain or thunderstorms is very low during this time of year. Visit Costa Rica

How interesting! Costa Rica seems like a lovely country to visit! I'm currently studying Haiti, and couldn't help but notice that both nations have similar types of local winds. Both Haiti and Costa Rica have coastlines and experience land and sea breezes. Costa Rica also has mountains and volcanoes, and can experience valley and mountain breezes much like Haiti. While Haiti and Costa Rica are both located in the Hadley cell, Costa Rica is a little more closer to the equator and the ITCZ than Haiti, and therefore can experience more rain than Haiti.
