What's The Best Time To Go To Costa Rica?
Just like any location in the world, Costa Rica has an low-season and high-season, normally correlated to the weather.
December through April is known to have some stunning weather in Costa Rica, so this is considered the high season. The summer time brings a lot of rain, unfortunately. Some retreat locations don't offer yoga retreats during this time at all.
However, if you don't mind the rain, then any season for your Costa Rica yoga retreat will work!
What To Pack For A Yoga Retreat In Costa Rica
One of the most important aspects of planning your Costa Rica yoga retreat is packing properly for the experience. Depending on the amenities, your full packing list will vary. However, bring the basics!
-
Comfortable clothes to do yoga in
-
Sunscreen and bug spray!
-
A bathing suit to cool off in the afternoons
-
A couple pairs of shoes for different activities
-
Your own yoga mat (if you want)
