High season is from December to April.  During this time the Orosi Valley's climate ranges up to 32º C, with an average of about 30ºC during the day to about 20ºC during the night, which makes it great for sleeping.

During the "Green season", also known as the rainy season, May to November, the mornings are dry, hot and sunny with the clouds pulling in around noon and raining sometimes throughout the night. 

October is the worst month for rain.  The green season is actually a great time to travel in Costa Rica as you can see all the tropical beauty in its full green beauty and you do not have to fight with crowds. Don't forget that each beach has it's own climate habits which can always change based on local weather and storms.

Montaña Linda opened it's tent flaps in 1994 only offering camping facilities to incoming guests, but since that humble beginning, Montaña Linda has grown to be very popular amongst the backpacker crowd, Mid budget travelers and students of all ages studying Spanish.

Montaña Linda Spanish School Costa Rica was started by the previous owners of the hotel in 1996, with the idea of offering inexpensive classes for those who were travelling for long lengths of time and who could not afford the prices of other schools in Costa Rica.  Since taking over, we have continued this idea and continued to expand our services, offering you the best we possibly can at the lowest price possible!
