Why March

March is the hottest and driest month in the Arenal basin and the lava field trail conditions are at their best of the year. The 8am cloud cap still applies — the cone is visible at dawn but closing by mid-morning on most days — and the heat that builds from 10am onward makes the early start even more important. The La Fortuna Waterfall is still well-fed from volcanic groundwater despite minimal recent rain, dropping its full 70 meters. Canyoning and rappelling through the waterfall system are at their most accessible this month.

What's possible this month
Rappel the La Fortuna Waterfall in the clearest water conditions of the year
Hike the lava field at first light — dry-season trail surfaces are at their annual best and the early start is rewarded
Raft the Balsa River in its dry-season flow — lower than wet-season intensity but fully accessible
Take a predawn guided bird walk through the rainforest as March mornings bring the highest species activity before the heat arrives
Conditions
🌞 Warm 79.5°F days💧 High humidity🌅 12hr daylight
Heat arrives in earnestMarch afternoons regularly push past 88°F with genuine humidity. Activities scheduled after 10am become significantly more demanding than the temperature numbers suggest. The property is designed for this — the thermal pool and shade structures are not amenities, they are the architecture — but guests planning full-day outdoor excursions should adjust their expectations accordingly.
