packing for costa rica
 

we leave tomorrow.
do we need sweaters at night?
temps say 60s at night. is it really that cold or more humid than cold?
we will be at la fortuna for 4 days and the MA along the coast for the next 4 days.
trying to figure out what to pack; don't want to over pack w/ jackets, etc.
please advise.

I would suggest a light jacket or sweater for La Fortuna but you won't need it in MA. Have fun!

Lots of great advice here: www.onebag.com

I wear a GORE-TEX most of the time. It's still raining up here on the lake. All day yesterday.

onebag.com

GoreTex rain gear with hood mountains get cold arenal.net

monteverdeinfo.com also Cargo Pants that zip to shorts

socks several pairs to change nothing dries for me

Light GoreTex Hikers if on trails they are super muddy

in fall... LL Beans less than 1# each good value

layers drip dry... bring your own face mask for custom fit if

snorkeling.. insuremytrip.com always wise.

I always bring a long-sleeved shirt and a jacket. It can get cool at night in the Arenal area. During rainy season, I bring a rain poncho too, one of those cheap ones that folds up into a zippered pouch. I got mine at Target.

thanks much for all the helpful advisde. ready to have some FUN!!
