Visiting the Cape in the fall is extremely satisfying. Hiking, biking and exploring the nearly empty beaches allow for quiet moments in nature. You also don’t have to endure long wait times to dine at the most popular restaurants and taste the local catch of the day.

Costa Rica

The off-season or rainy season in Costa Rica is usually from around June to November. This is an incredible time to visit the Central American country. Ample rain means lush, green forests and magnificent waterfalls that are often much drier and dustier during their summer, and more popular, months.
