What should I pack when moving to Monteverde?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Monteverde to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Monteverde, Costa Rica, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the warm tropical climate. However, also include some warm clothing as the temperatures can drop in the evenings. Rain gear is essential as Monteverde is known for its frequent rain showers. Pack sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots if you plan to explore the cloud forests and nature reserves. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit for the beautiful beaches and hot springs. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also necessary to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or hard-to-find ingredients. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. Lastly, pack a good camera to capture the stunning natural beauty of Monteverde," remarked another expat who made the move to Monteverde , Costa Rica.
