Semana Santa in Costa Rica

This week starts Semana Santa here in Costa Rica!  Semana Santa is a week of celebration with family and friends and many Costa Ricans are going to the beach to enjoy the warm summertime weather.  We are almost always guaranteed sunshine and blue skies!

Semana Santa is a holy week in the Catholic religion and always ends on Easter Sunday.  Parades, festivals and religious ceremonies take place throughout the week.  Some towns will take the old style (but very colorful) ox carts, place statues of the saints in them and take them to the local church.  Many businesses and government offices close for at least the last part of the week.  It is also often times the same week as Spring Break in the United States and as such, we look forward to seeing all of our guests this week as they enjoy a relaxing week of fun and festivities.

Our beachfront hotel in Playa Langosta is the perfect setting for your next Costa Rica vacation.
