The Papagayo Winds are a unique meteorological phenomenon that primarily affects the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica during the dry season, from December to March. Closely tied to the trade winds, this phenomenon intensifies due to the interaction between high-pressure systems from North American winters and the mountainous geography of Central America. As these winds funnel toward the Pacific Ocean, they create specific conditions that significantly influence maritime activities such as diving and snorkeling.
