The best time to visit Cote is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.


During these months, you'll experience reliably sunny skies and pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s Celsius. This weather is ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the Arenal Volcano National Park, hiking around Lake Arenal, or enjoying the local hot springs.


The dry season is particularly good for families looking for a stress-free holiday. The predictable weather means fewer interruptions to planned excursions, and the clearer conditions make wildlife spotting easier. It's also a great time for adventure sports like zip-lining and white-water rafting, as river levels are still good but conditions are generally more settled.


While May to November is the rainy season, don't rule it out entirely if you prefer fewer crowds and potentially lower prices. You'll still get plenty of sunshine, usually in the mornings, with rain showers often occurring in the afternoons.
