Q:
When is the best time to travel?
A:
Each time of the year has its particular atmosphere and it is difficult to guess what you like most…a little orientation:
December till end of April: dry season - is generally the busiest time of the year. At the end of this time period also the surrounding flora gets very dry.
May to August: moderate rainy season - rain pattern similar to Florida with some late morning and afternoon showers with occasional thunder storms. Nature is going back to green and butterflies start to arrive at the Finca Austria.
September and October: during those two months the region gets most of its rainfall – that does not mean that it rains all the time. Even completely sunny days are possible – but rare. One can enjoy the lush vegetation, many butterflies and some impressing thunderstorms.
