EMBRACE PARADISE WITHOUT THE CROWDS

EXPERIENCE COSTA RICA’S GREEN SEASON WITH MAKANDA

Costa Rica is widely known as one of the world’s top vacation destinations. It’s no secret it has something to offer everyone. From adrenaline-seeking adventures to romantic getaways, Costa Rica has it all. This can be a blessing and a curse for travelers as herds of tourists flock to paradise every year. Lines, crowds, and over-booked tours can put a damper on the exotic holiday you seek.


Imagine ditching the crowds while having a sliver of paradise all to yourself.


Green Season is a lesser-known secret that will allow you to embrace everything Costa Rica has to offer. During this time of year, fewer tourists migrate to Costa Rica allowing you to escape the crowds and enjoy a much more intimate and exclusive experience.


Every year, from May to mid-December, Costa Ricans welcome the spectacular beauty of “Green Season.” Tropical rainfall returns, tempering the heat and nourishing the earth as all the islands burst into bloom. Named Green Season for a reason, the cool breeze blows through plants and trees every shade of jade, emerald, and sage.


Imagine exploring the lush vegetation and vibrant wildlife of the rainforest or watching turtles nest and whales migrate in the warmth of the Pacific Ocean. Feel the thrill of rafting and waterfall rappelling with waters at their highest. Enjoy sipping freshly harvested coffee on your ocean view terrace as you watch the sunrise. Envision the solitude of a romantic getaway as you feast on fresh fruit. Makanda’s adult-only policy guarantees you’ll find the peace and tranquility you seek.
