👟 Footwear: Flip-flops, sandals and athletic shoes.
🎒 Travel essentials: Passport, copies of your documents, reusable water bottle, toiletries and any personal medication.
A few helpful tips:
•Currency: Costa Rica uses both Costa Rican colones and US dollars, and having some cash on hand is always useful.
•Power outlets: We use Type A and B outlets (the same as in the US), with 120V electricity. (Bring the right adapter if needed).
•Pack smart: Sunscreen and toiletries are also available in town.
•No need to bring: We provide beach towels, yoga mats and yoga equipment.
•Rainy season: If you’re visiting during the rainy season, bring a lightweight rain jacket.
Pack what makes you comfortable and get ready for an unforgettable week with us!
