These months are considered the least crowded in the area; one of the reasons this happens is that the weather tends to be rainier, but this won't stop you from having fun. (Descent)
October and December are the best times to see the Arenal volcano in all its magnificence. Contrary to popular belief, rainy nights allow you to see the volcano easily. This allows tourists to live a unique experience:
Morning tours, few people since its low season, slightly more relaxed afternoons combined with hot springs, to end it all by going to bed with the refreshing sound of the rain.
During this time of the year, it's common for the first hours of the day to be clear-skyed, so it's recommended to plan tours that involve being outdoors in the morning time.
Among the options, it is worth visiting the Arenal Volcano National Park, which hopefully will be seen in all its splendor. You can take a walk along the trails that border it or cool off in one of the many rivers around, preferably in the morning hours and when it is not raining since the flow can grow and is dangerous. You can also have fun in the middle of the hanging bridges or take part in a chocolate tour.
Remember that one of the best options to move within the area is EASY HOP, where you can visit up to three tourist destinations in a single day. Paying only a $12 fee that gives you access to high-quality and very safe buses.
The main goal is to make use of the good weather hours because we can spend more time getting to know the places we visit. Of course, the fact that it rains in the afternoon doesn't mean that other activities can't be done in La Fortuna.
One of the greatest activities La Fortuna has to offer is enjoying its hot springs when temperatures drop. As long as the weather conditions allow it, relaxing in them while listening to the raindrops fall. Doing this, it will be impossible not to have recharged your energy after everything you did in the morning, especially if you go for the volcanic mud baths.
Adding a few hours of self-care by going to a spa, is a guarantee that your planned day will end up being perfect. There are several places focused on the so-called "wellness tourism," They offer everything from rejuvenating natural treatments, sauna therapies, and relaxing massages with volcanic stones, to body wraps.
The afternoon can also be spent doing yoga or meditation. While foodies can join Creole cooking classes. Everything will depend on your interests and the experience you are looking for because all these options are possible in this area of Costa Rica. There is nothing that this place cant offer you. This is also the best time for rafting, the number one activity for adventurers.
You already know that in La Fortuna, the rain doesn't stop you from having fun, relaxing, and connecting with the environment; on the contrary, it becomes part of the experience and an invitation to be happy without letting the weather spoil your mood. Or without sunshine, I can guarantee you'll enjoy including this community on your list of destinations to visit.
