The best time to visit Central America largely depends on what you're looking for in terms of weather and activities. Dry Season starts December and lasts through April, which is the best time to visit for sunny weather and outdoor activities, making it ideal for beach vacations, hiking, and exploring national parks. This is peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds, especially in popular destinations like Costa Rica, Panama, and Guatemala. Rainy Season starts in May and last through November. While it’s rainier, the showers usually occur in the afternoon or evening, so mornings are often still good for outdoor activities. The rainy season is great for seeing vibrant green landscapes, and you might also find better deals on accommodation and tours. September and October tend to be the wettest months, and some areas (like coastal regions) may experience hurricanes or tropical storms.
