Yes. December through May are the driest months by far but there is another consideration that you need to be aware of. Those are also the months when the tourists flock to Costa Rica, especially December and January. If you are planning to visit LaSelva or Limon it does not really matter all that much when you go because in those two places at least the rainfall is fairly uniform.
Also where to find collectivo schedules. Need to know spanish? Need for local currency? Anything would be appreciated, thanks!
It’s a lovely place to travel. It’s peaceful, the people are lovely and many speak English really well, esp. in tourist areas.
We are particulary fond of Tortuguero because we are birdwatchers. You are staying in area loaded with wildlife, but the hotels are very comfortable. You take flat motor boats up the canals and are likely to see all kinds of wildlife.
The Pacific Coast is beautiful and more resorty. Manuel Antonio Park has rain forest, beaches and monkeys.
A couple stops you may want to make along the way are Poas volcano, which is quite striking but only steaming. Many go to Arenal volcano, but that is sometimes closed due to eruptions and at other times often hidden by cloud.
I’d highly recommend the La Paz Waterfall gardens, by far the best of the butterfly farms we’ve seen … http://www.waterfallgardens.com/ You can even stay at the small motel there.
You may be surprised at how reasonable you can get a planned trip and it may save you lot of grief trying to make connections. We’ve traveled several times with Costa Rica Expeditions and highly recommend it. They do group and individual trips. http://www.costaricaexpeditions.com/
You can check out our trips on our web site. Here’s the link to our latest trip … http://jackmaryetc.com/Travel/Americas/CostaRica/CBWC1.htm It’s a bit wordy as it’s based on a journal kept by my friend. If you go to the Arenal Volcano chapter, our friends describe their trip on local buses. http://jackmaryetc.com/Travel/Americas/CostaRica/CBWC6.htm

So rollin w/ DP through the streets of Tamarindo and into the Hotel Diria. The nicest hotel right on the beach and no really golf resort. By the airport a driving range, that’s about it for golf. May 2009 over Memorial Day.
