Celebrating “Semana Santa” in Costa Rica

If you are thinking of coming to Costa Rica during the Easter period then you may wish to hurry. Easter or Semana Santa as it is called in Costa Rica, is one of the busiest times of the year. Typically the country stops work from Wednesday until Sunday and then is back to work on Monday. People find it a great time to travel as the country has festivals and is more local as locals are at the beaches as well.The majority of smaller exclusive hotels are already full - Latitude 10 in Mal Pais/Santa Tresa has been fully booked before Xmas and Sueño del Mar in Tamarindo has been booked for months. Owners say that apart from Xmas these are the busiest dates of the year.Easter in Costa Rica is also well known for great weather as well. Over the past 4 years these dates have recorded some of the hottest and driest days and some of the best for sunbathing and fishing. Normally the Easter weeks is the peak of the dry season as towards the end of April Costa Rica starts to see some afternoon showers.
