What should I pack when moving to La Fortuna?
We asked people living in La Fortuna to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to La Fortuna, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as the climate is tropical and humid. Include shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and light dresses. Bring a rain jacket or poncho, as the area experiences frequent rainfall. Pack comfortable walking shoes, sandals, and water shoes for various outdoor activities. Don't forget your swimsuit, as there are numerous hot springs and waterfalls to enjoy. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Pack insect repellent to ward off mosquitoes and other bugs. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste. Pack essential toiletries, including toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any necessary medications. It's also a good idea to bring a small first aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and any personal medications you may need. Bring important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Make copies of these documents and store them separately from the originals. Pack a travel adapter and voltage converter, as Costa Rica uses a different electrical system than many other countries. If you plan on participating in outdoor activities, consider packing a lightweight backpack, binoculars for wildlife viewing, and a waterproof camera or phone case. A travel guidebook or phrasebook can also be helpful for navigating the area and communicating with locals. Lastly, pack any personal items and electronics you'll need, such as your phone, charger, laptop, and any necessary work materials," explained one expat living in La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
