You probably already heard that Costa Rica has all these interesting microclimates all over the country. You kind of pick the climate that you adjust to best. Some love the heat and others love the cold. The higher you go, the cooler it gets and Costa Rica is full of mountains. The lower you go, the warmer it gets.

Snow
No matter how high you live in the mountains of Costa Rica, you won’t ever see any snow at all. You will have no need for snow tires, snow shoveling, keeping sand and salt shovels as well as hot drinks on hand. You won’t have any need for backup plans and escape routes for moving into cold weather.
We have NO snow in Costa Rica.
Reduce the cold and get cozy
December and January are the coldest months of the year. That’s because of the winds. In some areas of Costa Rica, the temperatures get to be as low as 50ºF or 10ºC. You will see locals using gloves, boots, and snow caps.
Those are the days you’d want to live in a home with a fireplace that reduces the cold and gets you in a cozy mood.
