What to Pack & Prepare
Manuel Antonio's climate is tropical and humid year-round. Light, breathable clothing is essential for staying comfortable. When deciding what to wear, think layers and quick-drying fabrics.
Local Pro-Tip — Dress for the Season
In the Dry Season (Dec–April), focus on sun protection. In the Green Season (May–Nov), prioritize moisture-wicking gear that won't stay damp in the humidity.
- Lightweight T-Shirts & Tank Tops: Pack several tops made from cotton, linen, or moisture-wicking materials.
- Shorts & Skirts: We highly recommend wearing shorts or comfortable, breathable wear that you will be comfortable wearing in sunny, humid weather.
- Long-Sleeved Shirts & Pants: One or two lightweight long-sleeved options offer protection from the sun and evening mosquitos.
- Rain Jacket or Poncho: A lightweight, packable rain jacket is non-negotiable. Tropical rain showers can appear suddenly.
- Swimsuits: Bring at least two. One to wear, and one to dry.
- Undergarments & Socks: Pack more than you think. Choose quick-drying synthetic socks—especially important for trekking.
