Packing for Costa Rica...going to the seaside and rainforest?
My family and I are taking a 2 week trip to costa rica, starting mid-february. We're staying at the shoreline for the first half of the trip, where on earth I'm pretty sure it's warm, sunny, and dry. But we're afterwards going to the rainforest. I know it's still supposed to be pretty warm near, but is it really rainy? Should we pack (or buy) thaw out waterproof coats and umbrellas, or is that unnecessary?
Answers: Pack them. You'll call for them if your heading to a cloud or rain forest.
If you're going to the rainforest, you'll probably want some warm clothing at darkness. And, you definitely involve to bring at least a impermeable poncho unless you want to walk within the rain. Believe it or at, intercontinental warming is truly extending the rain season contained by Costa Rica every year. I found that out last year when it rain nonstop surrounded by the middle of January. It depends also on which rain forest you're head to, but in nonspecific, mid-February is not all that changeable, in reality, I would even dare say dry. Pack weakly. And buy a cheap umbrella when you get here.
Bring an umbrella but skip on the raincoats
