What’s warm, refreshing and doesn’t last long? Rain in Nicaragua! For many people the rainy season, or what we like to refer to as the Green Season (May through October), is an ideal time to visit Nicaragua. As you may have guessed from the name, everything is as lush as can be during Green Season and Nicaragua’s natural beauty really shines.

What is it really like in Green Season?

First-timers often wonder if they’ll be stuck in their rooms for their whole vacation, but the reality couldn’t be further from this. During Green Season, it typically only rains for a few hours a day, mostly in the afternoon and at night. It’s not uncommon to have totally rain-free days either.

Green Season mornings are typically sunny and warm, so there will always be plenty of time for trips out on the lake and beyond. While Green Season somewhat cools down the intense heat in Nicaragua, the temperature never drops dramatically – rains are warm, refreshing and therapeutic.

A little rain means a lot of savings

Cheaper airfares during Green Season mean you can fly down to Managua for far less. On top of that, don’t forget the lower hotel rates. Our rates considerably drop between May and October, and we often have special promotions such as complimentary nights which can bring down the overall travel costs considerably. With so few people at Jicaro too, you’ll feel like a rock star on your private island.

With Green Season almost drawing to an end for 2017, hurry and book your stay at Jicaro Island Lodge to experience how special Nicaragua feels during this magical time of year.
