Here are five captivating reasons why you should consider a getaway to Jaco Beach at Oceano Suites and Residence during the Green Season.

1. Lush Landscapes and Wildlife

The rainforests along the Central Pacific coast are characterized by dense greenery and a rich mosaic of flora and fauna. These areas receive plentiful rainfall, particularly during the Green Season, supporting a wide variety of life forms. From towering trees and sprawling vines to a vibrant undergrowth teeming with life, the rainforest near Jaco Beach is a thriving ecosystem.

Wildlife in these forests includes a range of species from colorful birds like the Scarlet Macaw to elusive mammals such as the ocelot and the sloth. The area is also a haven for many reptiles, amphibians, and insects, each playing a crucial role in the ecological balance of the rainforest.

Carara National Park, just a short drive north of Jaco Beach, is especially famous for its birdwatching opportunities, housing one of the largest populations of Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica. The park serves as a critical biological corridor for species transitioning between the dry forests of the northwest and the more humid environments further south.

2. Adventure in the Rain

Jaco’s tropical climate during the Green Season can turn your typical outdoor activities into unique adventures. Surfing on Jaco Beach after a rain shower can mean cleaner, crisper waves and fewer people in the water. Additionally, river rafting and waterfall tours are spectacular during this season, as the rivers swell, and the waterfalls flow fiercely.

For some Green Season adventures in nature, ask our knowledgeable Tour Desk for the best experiences in the Jaco area.

  • Surfing the Swells: The Green Season brings some of the best surfing conditions to Jaco Beach. The increased swells and less crowded beaches make it ideal for surfers looking to catch larger and more challenging waves.
  • Waterfall Exploration: The rains swell the rivers and streams, feeding spectacular waterfalls that are often at their most dramatic during this time of year.
  • Zip-Lining Through Mist: Imagine zip-lining through a canopy of trees as the rain patters above and mist swirls around you. This is a reality in Jaco during the Green Season, where canopy tours take on an ethereal quality.
  • ATV Mud Adventures: For those who don’t mind getting a bit muddy, ATV tours are particularly exhilarating in wet conditions. It’s a fun and engaging way to experience the wild side of Jaco’s natural landscape.

3. Cooler Temperatures and Refreshing Showers

The Green Season in Jaco brings with it not only lush landscapes but also cooler, more comfortable temperatures that make exploring the outdoors during the day far more pleasant. As the rains roll in, the mercury dips, offering a welcome respite from the intense heat typical of the tropical dry season. This drop in temperature is ideal for those who prefer a cooler climate while lounging on the beach or venturing into the wilderness.

Afternoon rain showers are a hallmark of the Green Season, bringing a refreshing break to the day’s warmth. These showers are often short-lived and manage to enhance the experience rather than detract from it. The rain freshens the air, settles the dust, and amplifies the rich scents of the rainforest. There’s something uniquely peaceful about watching a tropical downpour from the comfort of your suite at Oceano Suites and Residence, or under the shelter of a rainforest canopy.

4. Cost-Effective Travel

Traveling to Jaco during the Green Season also presents an excellent opportunity for cost-effective vacations. Many local businesses and tour operators offer discounts on activities, from guided nature walks to adventure sports, meaning you can do more while spending less.

During this season, many hotels and resorts offer lower rates, and Oceano Suites and Residence is no exception.

This season also sees fewer tourists, which not only means less crowded attractions but also often results in lower service prices and more personal attention wherever you go. Whether you’re dining at local eateries, shopping for unique crafts, or exploring the rich ecosystems, the Green Season lets you stretch your budget further, making it ideal for travelers who seek value without compromising on quality or experience.
