I find that whole garabito zone to be WAY TOO HOT. Like it's really dry there. The guanacaste region too gets really hot and dry. Somehow I think my health prefers hot and humid. My nose is all dusted up and clogged in those regions. That said this country has a TON of microclimate stuff going on, so there's something for everyone, because plenty of people don't seem to mind that at all!
