"We purchased a day pass to enjoy the beautiful hot springs at Rio Perlas Thermal Resort & Spa, and it was absolutely worth it! The pools were relaxing and well-maintained, and we also went on a scenic hike that made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was visiting the farm and getting to pet the animals—it added such a fun, unique touch. We had an amazing time overall and definitely plan to return when we’re back in Costa Rica!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San Rafael?
The best areas to stay in San Rafael, Cartago Province, are around the main town centre for convenience and the surrounding rural areas for a more tranquil experience.

For travellers who value convenience and immediate access to amenities, staying close to the San Rafael town centre is ideal. This area offers a selection of local eateries, shops, and the central park, which is often a focal point for community activities. It's a practical base for exploring the local region and offers straightforward access to the main road networks.

Couples seeking a peaceful retreat with beautiful natural surroundings will appreciate the rural areas just outside the town centre. Here, you'll find accommodations located among coffee plantations or with views of the valley. These spots often provide a more secluded experience, great for relaxation and enjoying the Costa Rican landscape.
When is the best time to go to San Rafael?
The best time to visit San Rafael, Cartago Province, is generally during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and outdoor activities. The dry season is great for hiking around the Irazú Volcano National Park, where clear skies often provide spectacular views of the crater and surrounding landscapes. It's also a great time for visiting the nearby Lankester Botanical Garden, as the plants are in full bloom and the pathways are dry and pleasant for walking.

The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While you might encounter occasional afternoon showers, especially in May as the rainy season begins, these months offer a lush green landscape and fewer visitors. This can be particularly appealing for couples seeking a more tranquil experience, as you can enjoy popular spots with fewer crowds. The temperatures remain warm and comfortable throughout these periods.

Ultimately, for those prioritising reliable sunshine and ideal conditions for outdoor adventures, the dry season is your best bet.
