3. Costa Rica
January is one of the best times to visit Costa Rica because it is the beginning of the dry season. It can also be extremely popular during this time of year as well, so it’s best to book ahead. Thanks to the pleasant weather during this season, it’s a great time for taking eco-tours and checking out the exotic wild life, but save some time for the beach, too.
4. Puerto Rico
U.S. citizens don’t need a passport to go to Puerto Rico, but it feels like a foreign getaway. The food, the music, the culture and the rum drinks are as satisfying as the natural wonders like rainforests, waterfalls and bioluminescent bays. With the average January high temperature being 80 degrees, you can comfortably chill by the beach or pool.
