It's ideal for beach vacations, hiking, exploring national parks, and cultural experiences. You'll encounter less rainfall and enjoy clear skies during this time.

While the rainfall can be heavy at times, it usually doesn't disrupt travel plans. This is the low season, offering lower prices on accommodations and fewer tourists.

September and October (Peak of Rainy Season):
