by Dillon Patterson Article PublisherPacking luggage for a vacation can
prove difficult no matter where you’re going. In general, you’ll want to
include everything you need in your day-to-day life, plus any items specific to
your vacation activities.
If you’re going on vacation in Costa Rica, you’ll want to bring
warm-weather clothing, swimwear, and a nice outfit or two if you plan on
attending a more formal event.
In addition, you’ll need to bring
identification in the form of your passport, money, any medications you take,
toiletries, and any other items that your family members use every day.
Costa Rica Essentials
If you want to be prepared for
anything during your Costa Rican vacation, here are some essentials that you
should be sure to bring along with you.
1. Flip flops: There are a lot of
beaches in the area, so bringing beach-friendly shoes is a must.
2. Insect repellent: The tropical Costa Rican
climate makes this destination ideal for mosquitos, so bring insect repellent
to protect from bug bites.
3. Raincoat: It rains regularly in
Costa Rica, so it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat, poncho, or waterproof
jacket.
4. SIM card: To use your phone in
Costa Rica, you’ll need a prepaid SIM card that’s area appropriate. SIM cards
are typically available for purchase at the airport, so you can buy one when
you land!
5. Phrasebook: There are phone apps you
can use to translate English phrases to Costa Rican Spanish, but you can also
use a physical phrasebook.
6. First aid kit: It is always prudent to
prepare for minor medical issues, and bringing a first aid kit on your trip
helps you do just that. You’ll never know when you need it.
7. Flashlight: The Costa Rican
population doesn’t rely on lighting as much as many visitors are accustomed to.
Bring a flashlight if you want to get around at night, as your path might not
be well lit.
8. Backpack: If you plan on taking
day hikes during your trip, bringing a small backpack might make it easier to
carry the belongings you need.
9. Map: Road signs and directions in Costa
Rica differ significantly from many other countries, so it’s a good idea to
bring a map with you if you want to avoid getting lost.
10. Hiking/walking shoes: Costa Rica has countless
trails to explore, so if you plan to do a lot of walking, don’t forget to bring
a sturdy pair of shoes.
Being prepared is the best way to
ensure that your family vacation in Costa Rica is as enjoyable as
possible. As such, it’s wise to create a checklist well ahead of your departure
and double-check to make sure you’ve remembered everything.
