In the capital, the atmosphere is comfortable because the temperatures are lower than on the east coast. The only downside is the rain which intensifies gradually. It is not unusual for beautiful mornings to become rainy afternoons. With precaution, one can fully enjoy their stay.

The West Coast of Costa Rica in April

The heat is at its peak in the localities that border the Gulf of Nicoya, while the rain is still weak. To forget the high heat that dominates the weather in Costa Rica throughout April, head to Montezuma where the climatic conditions remain ideal.
