When to go & weather

Weather

The emerald-green grass, tall fields of yellow maize (corn) and towering stands of pine that characterize the Highlands all depend on the abundant rain that falls between May and October. If you visit during this rainy season, be prepared for some dreary, chilly, damp days. At high altitudes it can get cold at night at any time of year. But when the sun comes out, this land is stunning to behold.
