What to pack in my day pack?

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
