Study Abroad in Heredia, Costa Rica?

You chose the best time to come to Costa Rica. It's the dry season! You can expect lots of sun with little humidity unless you venture to the Caribbean or rain forest regions.

For any other Costa Rica information, try the TicosLand directory.

Heredia is a province as well as a town. When are you going? Heredia the town is right between Alajuela and San Jose so climate wise you will not see a different. Where exactly will you be and with whom will you be studying? Temperatures will depend on the time of year and the exact elevation of your volunteer site. Heredia can be humid but it is not particularly hot. Temperatures higher than 80degrees F or 27 degrees C are not that common.

Been living here for three years. Heredia is a nice choice..stay away from San Jose, lots of crime. The rest of the country is fairly safe.

You are coming during the best time...Jan til April is the driest of the whole year, very little rain on the North Pacific but a little rain in Heredia.

You are a 5 dollar bus ride to the Pacific coast, so you can get out for the weekends.

Enjoy..Costa Ricans are very friendly!

I just studied there for am month and a half this summer. I also used Amerispan. I do prefer it to San jose and there is plenty to do and once you figure out the bus system you can pretty much go anywhere in the country from there. At first it was a bit hectic and crazy but if you can meet people and adjust well you will have the time of your life!
