Clothing & Packing Tips

This Panama itinerary focuses on the outdoors, so your clothing should be casual and appropriate for outdoor use. Loose-fitting, layered clothing that can accommodate varying temperatures will probably be most comfortable. A sun hat, sunglasses, and a bathing suit are recommended, as are sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots.

Occasional rain showers are common in the areas you will be visiting, so pack light rainwear.

Binoculars are very useful for bird- and animal-watching, along with a field guide if you are particularly interested in specifics about the different species you’ll spot.

Insect repellent is highly recommended for visits to the rainforests.
