I recently returned from a wonderful trip to Costa Rica, hosted by Costa Rica Family Holidays. It was such a blast and they gave us such a great tour that I will never forget. I wrote a post specifically about why they are the best that you should read when you have the chance.
Costa Rica is such a diverse country and has a multitude of climates and activities to plan for, so I needed to research some Costa Rica packing tips to help me gather my things. I wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t forget anything. Luckily, Costa Rica Family Holidays included a packing list along with their itinerary, which was super helpful. I’ve taken their original list expanded upon it to make the best Costa Rica Packing list available. Good luck packing and have a great trip to Costa Rica.
