¿Qué Pasa en Quepos? – September/October 2021

Bienvenidos…Welcome to the rain forest. Green season has arrived, so enjoy the peace and all the lushness it provides. Our mornings are normally beautiful and the rain normally rolls in late in the afternoon, so get moving early and enjoy your adventures. Maybe an afternoon nap (quilt free in the rain). Our restaurants and tour companies are in full swing to make your time here an unforgettable one. Without the crowds and with cooler weather it’s a perfect time to hike one of our beautiful National Parks that Costa Rica has to offer. We recommend calling ahead to our fine restaurants beforehand because some will be closing briefly this time of year for a quick vacation for themselves and their staff. Being from the US I look forward to this time of year and the start of the NFL season. You can catch all the action at Jolly Roger on the hill or Best Western Hotel and Casino in Quepos.

Marina Pez Vela offers outstanding restaurants, tours, great shopping and most importantly this time of year underground parking and shuttle service. September and October are great months for whale watching here in Manuel Antonio so make sure to book your tours with Marina Pez Vela and enjoy the spectacular humpback whales frolicking just offshore. October 31 is Halloween so start thinking about your costume and get ready for fright night in the jungle. It’s BACK this year… Always a great time for the entire family. MPV’s annual Halloween Bash complete with trick or treating for the kids and specials in their restaurants. Costa Rica celebrates its 199th year of Independence on September 15th. So, if you’re in the area come celebrate with a country that truly appreciate their Independence. Viva Costa Rica!!!
