What to Bring: AZ Monteverde

Monteverde has a climate that during parts of the year can be rather wet and throughout most the year can be classified as cool. The yearly average temperatures in Monteverde will range from the mid 60's to the low 70's. Costa Rica does have a dry season which also affects Monteverde. During this season (from roughly the end of January through late April / early May) the area is dry and warm.

Since much of the time in Monteverde you can experience rain and cool temperatures you should plan accordingly. Bring some type of light rain gear and some waterproof boots. You should also bring light cotton clothing that can dry quickly if it gets wet. During the days it can be comfortable, but nights can get a little chilly, so bring something warmer as well.

Since you are in a wonderful rainforest area, bring a camera, hiking boots, a guide book, a flashlight, and if you are up for an overnighter in the rainforest, bring camping gear.
