The climate of Quepos (Costa Rica)
Quepos is located on the west coast of Costa Rica on the Pacific Ocean
and is surrounded by tropical rainforests. Because Quepos is located
at the edge of the Manuel Antonio National Park the city is very
popular among eco tourists. To prevent mass tourism there is a limit
to the amount of tourists that are allowed in this area. The main
source of income for this port used to be the cultivation of bananas.

cosy streets with bars and restaurants can be found. During the dry

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
