Recently booked my first trip to CR and will be staying at the HDR.

I will arrive at SJO on September 15th at ~1:00PM. I just noticed that September 15th is CR Independence Day and was wondering:

1) Will the action at the DR be significantly off?

2) Will there be heavy traffic between the airport and the HDR? If so, should I change my flight to arrive in early evening?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Traffic will be normal. HDR will be normal. Enjoy.

I'll be there at the same time. Is this a big holiday in CR? It's my first trip. Is there anything special we should look for?
Thanks in advance!

Nothing really special other than city schools parades. Nothing really, really big.

If you have the time and the opportunity to check on the parade, many girls out. specially if parade are in the AM when the sun is hot...
