|
What NOT to bring
|
Bocas is very casual and temperate.
You
do not need many clothes. The
fun is to figure out how little you can get by with.
Do not bring a hard suitcase – there will be no place to store
it. Your best bet is a
minimum of clothing in a small soft bag. |
|
Pack lightweight summer clothes and plenty of bathing
suits. There is a lot of sun and a
lot of warm rain in Bocas. Due to intense tropical sun it is wise
to bring lightweight long sleeve cotton shirts to protect your skin from
too much sun. |
|
You will want several hats for protection from sun
and rain. |
