Comment from Paige
While the heaviest rains of the season fall on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, keeping crowds small, prices low, and adventurous tourists a bit damp, the Caribbean Coast is gearing up for the biggest party in Costa Rica: Carnival. Thousands show up to the gritty port city of Puerto Limón to partake in a week of live music, dancing, beauty contests, cultural events, and much, much more.
