If you’ve ever visited Costa Rica during the warmer months, you’ve probably heard a loud, almost hypnotic sound filling the air — as if nature itself were humming.
That unmistakable sound comes from cicadas, one of the most fascinating and unique natural phenomena in the country.
You may not always see them — but you will definitely hear them.
During hot days in Costa Rica, what feels like a light drizzle under the trees might actually be cicadas releasing excess water after feeding on sap.
In Costa Rica, the sound of cicadas is more than just background noise — it’s a sign that summer has arrived.
For many locals, hearing cicadas during Semana Santa evokes tradition, slower days, and reconnecting with nature.
Listening to cicadas in their natural habitat is something you can’t fully describe… you have to experience it.
It’s one of those simple yet powerful moments that connects you to the true rhythm of the tropics.
Cicadas remind us that Costa Rica is not only seen through landscapes, wildlife, and adventure.
Sometimes, the essence of a place is not found in what you look at, but in what you hear.
At Camino Travel, we design authentic journeys that let you discover the true essence of Costa Rica — through experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
