Regarding the travel time the following is to be said:

Generally we have an all-year-around-season. The dry-season is approximately from December to April. Then it rains very rarely. The remaining time is characterized by regular precipitation, which can be sometimes violent but briefly. Soon after that the sun laughs again. Pure rain days are very rare.
In the rain-season nature is substantially greener and for the nature observers more life shows up. Ornithologists however, often prefer the dry season. Then the jungle is less leafy and the birds can be discovered more easily.
 

What should you bring along?

Generally light clothes; for the evening possibly a light jacket. If you plan to visit the Caribbean, bring your snorkel equipment. Protection against the sun and insect repellent (at CASA MARIA are hardly undesirable insects!).
For jungle-trips rubber boots are practical, and rain clothes always are advantageous.
A good flashlight and binoculars are always helpful implements.

Anyhow, if you want to spare luggage you can lend most items from us. (take a look at Extras)

Vaccinations or malaria prophylaxis are not needed to stay at CASA MARIA.
 

Please ask us, if you have any doubts.
