For land-based outdoor adventures in Alajuela, such as hiking in Poás Volcano National Park and zip-lining in the rainforest, the dry season from December to April is ideal due to lower rainfall and sunny days. During the rainy season from May to November, consider visiting waterfalls like La Paz, which are more spectacular but come with increased risk of slippery trails. For comfortable accommodations, look for hotels in Alajuela that offer easy access to these activities.
