As rain clouds start rolling across Central America, new reasons to visit this enchanting region also surface.
Aptly known as the green season, the rainy season runs roughly from May through mid-November. Despite the likelihood of afternoon showers, the green season offers a silver lining for savvy travelers who appreciate lush vegetation, abundant wildlife, and high-adrenaline adventure without the costs and crowds of the dry season (late November through April).
For example, kayaking and white-water rafting become more exhilarating on rain-swollen rivers as rapids flow with added force. Known for its rainforest wonders, Central America explodes with abundant flowers, plants, birds, and wildlife in the green season.
July to December marks the high season for turtle nesting, particularly in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It’s also peak time to spot magnificent humpback whales in Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce. Festivals abound, too, especially on Sept. 15 when several Central American nations celebrate their Independence Day.
Meanwhile, let nature, not crowds, surround you at destinations that you’ll have all to yourself. Afterward, dine at the best table in the restaurant, which also may offer special prices. Find more bargaining power in shops and markets, as fewer customers mean fewer sales. To further entice green-season travelers, hotels and lodges often lower their rates. Just look at these specials at some of our favourite accommodations:
