Same Nicoya Peninsula pattern as Nosara — sharp split between Dec-Apr dry season and May-Nov green season. Dry season delivers 27-30°C with reliable offshore winds and zero rain; green season delivers afternoon downpours and 30-50% rent discounts. October is the wettest single month. Closer-to-equator latitude means temperatures stay in the 27-30°C band year-round.

Costa Rica Estancia DNV
Typical max stay
24 months
Costa Rica's Estancia DNV (Ley de Atracción de Trabajadores Remotos, launched 2022) — USD 3,000/mo income for individuals or USD 4,000/mo for families, 1-year initial + 1-year renewal. Tax-exempt on foreign-earned income. Standard visa-free 90 days on arrival for US/UK/Canada/EU; Rentista (USD 2,500/mo, 2-year) and Pensionado (USD 1,000/mo pension) cover residency paths. Border runs to Nicaragua via Peñas Blancas are the workaround for nomads stacking multiple visa-free stays.
