Bijagua's Climate and Location

Bijagua de Upala is located right between the Miravalles and Tenario Volcanoes.  This higher elevation offers  a cool climate with Majestic Volcano views.  This town is less than 2 hours away from the popular beach towns of Playa Flamingo and Potrero.  

The town of Liberia is just an hour drive away, providing plenty of shopping conveniences, two excellent hospitals (San Rafael), and the Liberia international Airport.

Compared to the rest of the country, Bijagua de Upala has a much longer green season, lasting from May until January, and shorter high season, from February to April.  This keeps the area lush and the rivers and springs flowing.  Even during the green season, most of the rainfall occurs in the late afternoon, with sunny mornings and early afternoons. The temperature fluctuates between about seventy and eighty degrees, making it considerably cooler and less humid than many other parts of the country. 

Rio Celeste and the Tenario Nacional Park are the biggest attractions in this area.  This area is untouched and offers an abundance of wildlife and birdwatching.
