The best time to visit Manzanillo, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April.


During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for enjoying the region's beautiful beaches and outdoor activities. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, great for exploring the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge or relaxing by the Caribbean Sea.
