Panama - Already one of the more overlooked tropical destinations, Panama’s rainy season typically ceases sometime in November. That’s the time to strike, as sites like the Panama Canal and local rainforest parques and jungle hikes typically face a transitional period of less traffic. Upon arrival, food and scattered travel expenses are almost nil.
Costa Rica - You’ll find a similar seasonal transition here, and this beautiful region can offer some exceptional biodiversity on its own.
