September is one of the wettest months of the year, especially on the Pacific side, but it’s also one of the quietest and most affordable times to visit. The Caribbean coast enjoys drier, sunnier weather, making destinations like Puerto Viejo and Cahuita top picks. It’s a great month for sea turtle nesting, lush green scenery, and local culture, with Independence Day celebrations offering a glimpse into Costa Rican patriotism.
