It is already March but North America is starting to get unseasonably warm. Costa Rica is in the Tropics where, believe it or not you can get cool or hot depending on your elevation and time of day. There is nothing like a cool evening on a mountainside restaurant overlooking the San Jose Valley. Going to Costa Rica now is a great idea.

The months of January, February and March are the months of the best weather. Also now that Christmas is over, the city will be less crowed. However if you like to see some good tropical storms, be in Costa Rica when the seasons change. That is when you will see the huge storms. Now is a great time for a tropical vacation

Of course there is some great fishing and scuba diving on the Carribian Coast.

Costa Rica and Central America are filled with artists painting with water colors, acrylic and oils.

This store gives you examples of the arts and crafts of several Costa Rican artists.
