November-April is rainy season so the temperatures typically are more mild, but mosquitoes tend to be more abundant during that time.  May-October is dry season at the center so it tends to be hotter, but there are less mosquitoes.  Regardless of when you come, there is the potential for temperatures to rise during the day and then drop quite drastically at night. The jungle climate is unpredictable and we recommend coming prepared for all conditions.  There is no best time of year to come as there is a good mix of sun and clouds throughout the year, this just depends on your personal preference regarding the above information.
