Ok, so, there’s something very important that debes tener en cuenta, you should take into account, if you’re going hiking in Costa Rica. And no, it’s not whether the volcano you’re hiking on is active or not… it’s the weather, el tiempo. There’s only two estaciones, seasons, in Costa Rica: la estación seca, the dry season, and la estación lluviosa, the rainy season. Each one lasts about six months.
