"Packing List" Santa Cruz Packing List Tip by Turco

Luggage and bags: Bring some waterproof package, in Santa Cruz it often rains at the least expected moment.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: While in the city wear either sandals or walking shoes. In the countryside wear hiking boots.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you go to the Rain Forest bring with you plenty of mosquito repellent and make sure you have your yellow fever vaccine. An antidote against snake poison. All of this can be bought in Santa Cruz. Among the good pharmacies you can find 'Farmacia Telchi' or 'Farmacia Santa María' (they are both chains).

Photo Equipment: You can find all sorts of camera and battery equipment in down town Santa Cruz in Korean owned shops around 'Calle Ayacucho' and 'Calle Libertad'. If you want to develop your films in 1 hour go to 'ABC Color' (chain), serious and professional, plus used to tourists.
