Costa Rica Weather - Osa Mountain Village Resort
Costa Rica is located just north of the Equator, the climate is tropical year round. However, the country has many microclimates depending on elevation, rainfall, topography, and by the geography of each particular region.
Costa Rica's seasons are defined by how much rain falls during a particular period and not to the four seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. The year can be split into two periods, the dry season known to the residents as summer, and the rainy season, known locally as winter. The summer or dry season goes from December to April, and winter or rainy season goes from May to November, which almost coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, and during this time, it rains constantly in some regions.

Osa Mountain Village announces commencement of construction on Phase I of its unique community concept. The community is located in Costa Rica's Southern Zone along the pristine Pacific Coast, where the mountains meet the ocean. It is about 20 minutes from Palmar Norte and 40 minutes from Dominical and overlooks the Pacific Ocean at a temperate 2,000 feet elevation level. The area boasts magnificent ocean sunset views, ideal climate, an abundance of wildlife and a wealth of adventure activities.
This 780+ acre development will use less than 3% of the land for development of villas, infrastructure and food production. The other 97% will be used as a nature preserve and jungle playground. Osa Mountain Village has a goal of producing 80% of the food consumed by its guests and residents. Thousands of fruit trees have already been planted and the future will bring vegetables, herbs, chicken and tilapia.
Freshly-caught seafood will also be available to guests and residents at a significant discount with the recent addition of a charter fishing boat.
The development will consist of 150 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom villas, restaurant, bar, community center, a large grass field for games, ranchos, barbecue areas, gym and other amenities.
An 11-line, 15-platform canopy tour, canyoning adventure (rappelling through waterfalls) and Tarzan Swing are already open.
The villas range from 650-1,500 square feet and include eco-friendly construction, granite or bamboo countertops and patios with the customary Costa Rican hammock. Prices start at US$109,000 to own a villa. Fractional units are also available starting at US$18,000 for a 4 week share. Fractional units come fully furnished with everything needed to start renting or enjoying immediately.
I am so excited the construction phase has begun, says Jim Gale, President. People have been enjoying the canopy tour since it opened in May and, while at the property, they ask about our community. The response has been overwhelming! With our own food production, fun things to do on-site and quick access to other areas, we envision our residents being able to live comfortably for about $500 per month. A former mortgage broker, Mr. Gales paradigm changed with the birth of his first daughter, Amelia. It was then that he started questioning the way communities exist and how they relate to the world as a whole. His idea became Osa Mountain Village, a community of abundance, fun, security and learning. A
Permaculture University is also in the planning stage and will be located adjacent to Osa Mountain Village.
Classes begin on January 10th, 2010. Information about Permaculture University can be seen here:
