The Central Pacific Valley of Costa Rica is tropical but often pleasant. 

Bijagual de Turrubares, located in a mountainous region near the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, typically experiences comfortable, warm temperatures ranging from roughly 25 – 28 C (77 – 82 F) on average, with hotter days reaching the low 30s (up to 90+ F) during the March-April dry season. The area is cooler than nearby beach towns like Jaco.

• Dry Season (December – April): Temperatures are warmest, often peaking in March and April, with lower humidity.
• Rainy Season (May – November): Temperatures remain warm, but humidity increases, and afternoons often bring rainfall.
• Monthly Averages: The region experiences a consistent, moderate tropical climate with average monthly temperatures around 23 C (73 F).
• Elevation Factor: Because Bijagual is in the mountains, it is consistently cooler than the coast, often providing a 25 – 28 C (77 – 82 F) average day, which feels very comfortable compared to the 30+ C (90+ F) temperatures on the coast.

Bring light, breathable clothing, plus a light sweater for cooler evenings.

Soltara also recommends light, loose long-sleeve shirts and long pants for sun and occasional mosquitoes, and sneakers or sandals with backs if you want to explore property’s rainforest trails.
