Visiting Costa Rica in September
September is a wonderful time to experience a different side of Costa Rica. Guanacaste is beautifully green, the pace is a little quieter, and the landscape feels especially alive.
It’s also a month filled with Costa Rican culture, traditions, and celebrations. From Independence Day festivities in Playas del Coco to incredible wildlife experiences and lush tropical scenery, September gives visitors a chance to experience Costa Rica beyond the typical beach vacation.
At Toro Blanco Hotel, you’re in a perfect location to enjoy it all—just one block from Coco Beach and close to the restaurants and shops of Playas del Coco, while still having an easy home base for exploring Guanacaste.
Celebrate Costa Rica’s Independence
September is a particularly special month in Costa Rica. Independence Day is celebrated on September 15, with festivities beginning the evening before.
In Playas del Coco, the celebrations bring the community together with colorful parades, traditional dancing, music, families, and plenty of Costa Rican pride. It’s a wonderful opportunity for visitors to experience local culture rather than simply observe Costa Rica as a tourist.
