Costa rica in april?

[AlanMM]

Anyone got experience with going to Costa rica at the end of April (last 2 weeks)
It's that a nice period? For example :Rain, or seeing animals? Or should i better choose another period... (although that may be a problem...)

It really depends on what you want to see. I would almost have to recommend September. April is in the midst of beginning rainy season, so it will rain alot and often with bugs in hiding quite a bit. If the rains have not started yet, then it is rather dry-ish and many bugs are hidden. In September the rainy season has just ended, the ground is saturated, and everything is up and about in good places to be found. But that's what I gathered from going there, anyway.

how is late June?

I went to CR in late June and found it to be quite pleasant. It rained in the cloud forest although thats common year round. And it was overall sunny and humid elsewhere.

Great! I haven't looked too much into herps but I hope to see the redeyed treefrog in the wild which I think is almost guaranteed. Snakes/tarantulas/bugs would be great additions though!

So even in mid rainsaison (late june), the weather / "bugs sight seeing" is good?
Then i almost think in late april it should be good also... (less rain) :?

Skip Costa Lotta and head south. Similar wildlife and not quite so much like Southern California! ;P
