When the sun sets over Costa Rica, an entirely different world wakes up. Many travelers focus their adventures on sunny beaches and lush rainforests during daylight hours. Still, as a guide passionate about showcasing the richness of my country, I've found that some of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters happen after dark.

Let me walk you through how the year flows here in Costa Rica—especially in the areas where I guide tours most often, like the Papagayo Peninsula in Guanacaste, La Fortuna near Arenal, and even down toward Manuel Antonio. These are all regions I know well and love most, and I’d love to help you discover what makes each time of year so special.

Volcanoes are probably one of the most misunderstood natural phenomena. In the movies, they’re often shown as explosive, fiery monsters—but here in Costa Rica, they’re something quite different. Our volcanoes are alive, yes, but they are also peaceful, deeply connected to the land, the people, and even our way of life.
