Before travelling | During your journey
Equipment
Take only bags that travel along easily in small planes. If you come from a central European country you do not need any special electricity plugs.
- Clothing
Take a long sleeved
T-Shirt for the evening as protection against the
mosquitoes and the coldness in the highlands. A thin pareo is fine as a
towel on the beach. Do not forget plastic shoes for when you go
swimming and be careful not to step on sea urchins. Take also a light
rain jacket for the rain in the Eastern coast, though thanks to the hot
weather clothes dry quickly. Good walking shoes are essential for
tracking tours.
- Medical Supplies
