January
Every calendar year opens with a rush of visitors, as North American and do-
mestic tourists flood beach towns to celebrate. January weather is ideal, with
dry days and only occasional afternoon showers.
Fiesta de la Santa Cruz
Held in Santa Cruz in the second week of January, this festival centers on a rodeo and bull-
fights. It also includes the requisite religious procession, music, dances and a beauty pa-
geant.
Jungle Jam
The biggest musical event to hit Jacó, the Jungle Jam stretches over several days and mul-
tiple venues outside of the main event, which is set in the lush tropical jungle just outside of
town. Held in mid-January.
