Your daypack: In your backpack each day you should be carrying the following items, most are on the list above, but a few are new.
Insect repellant
Sunblock (a small one will last for your whole trip)
Chap stick with sunblock.
Camera
Binoculars
Light rain gear
Flashlight
Water- we recommend bringing your own refillable bottle for environmental reasons. Recycling in Costa Rica is not what it should be, and you will almost always have access to potable water.
Field guide
Sun glasses
Alcoholic hand sanitizer
Hat (actually this should probably be on your head)
Personal medication- any medication you might need, for example an asthma inhaler, heart medication or for a diabetic; insulin, glucose etc.
Additionally our guides recommend a small, microfiber “hiker´s towel”, which will dry easily but do wonders for keeping sweat from accumulating
