The Pacific coast usually experiences a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November; the Caribbean coast has a more consistent rainfall throughout the year.

    A week allows for a more comprehensive exploration. You could combine a stay in La Fortuna, near Arenal Volcano, with a few days on the Pacific coast at a location like Montezuma or Santa Teresa for a mix of adventure and relaxation.
