Travel Guide > Central America > Costa Rica > Puntarenas
Although discovered in 1519 the city of Puntarenas and port was not developed until the 1840s because of the coffee industry. This nice city has homey old town and has wonderful beaches that surfers love. This is a great place to relax and spend a day or two.
Puntarenas' climate is on average about the same as many other places in Costa Rica. Tropical conditions mean high temperatures and high humidity. Average daytime temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius, while nights generally are still above 20 degrees. The wet season lasts from May to November, making the months of December to April a better time to visit.
