Manuel Antonio is only a few degrees off the equator, so our temperature does not vary much throughout the year.
The temperature only fluctuates about 10º throughout the year with the average temperature being around 80º.
From December to late May there is virtually no rain. Even in 'Green Season', the constant sunshine is occasionally interrupted by a refreshing afternoon shower.
Pack light! Virtually everything in Manuel Antonio is 'open air' and very casual.
