Monteverde’s dry season is from December to April, making conditions easier for exploring the forest and spotting resident wildlife.
Getting there
Planes
Regional flights serve Guanacaste, around two-and-a-half hours away from Monteverde; Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José is closer to a four-hour drive.
Automobiles
Driving in Monteverde is best left to experienced locals. Rather than hiring a set of wheels, you’ll want to stick with transfers and organised tours.
