WHAT TO BRING
Of course we take care of all your major needs – food, lodging, equipment, etc., but here’s a short list of things you should consider bringing to make your trip the best it can be! There is a pretty well-stocked mini-market in town just in case you forget something!
- Passport: You definitely need to have it with you to get in and out of Costa Rica and there needs to be 3 months of validity left on it.
- Travel Insurance: We always encourage guests to purchase travel insurance. It’s better safe than sorry!
- Medical Insurance card, credit card, etc: We strongly recommend that you make xerox copies of these and all important cards/papers so that you have one with you at all times, and in case you should lose or misplace originals.
- Shots/Immunuzations: It is not necessary to get immunized or take any pills to prevent any diseases such as Malaria, etc.
- Sunscreen: Definitely 30 SPF and perhaps up to 50 SPF, depending on your skin sensitivity and time out in the sun.
- Loose-fitting long sleeve shirts and long pants
- Hiking boots and/or Sneakers and/or Tevas: Flip Flops are NOT PERMITTED on Canopy Tour
- Bug Repellent:100% Natural Bug Repellent is WSA’s choice and sold in most health food stores
- Small first aid kit
- Reading material for down time
- Beach Towel
- Hat
- Flashlight
- Rashgaurd: Personal choice.
- Rain Jacket or Poncho and Umbrella*
- International Calling Card: Very useful! You can buy these in the country for cheap!
- Cash: Cash is king here and ATM’s don’t accept Mastercard
- Money for the Departure Tax: You will need to pay a $26 departure tax upon leaving Costa Rica. Customs accepts cash or Visa card.
- Do not bring Traveler’s Checks
