What To Bring
A lot of people ask us about specific precautions to take or what things they should and should not bring to Pirate Cove. Below we have listed a few pointers for you.
- There are no problems with malaria or dengue in Drake Bay. Pirate Cove has almost no mosquitoes. You should bring a good insect repellant for Corcovado
National Park. If you have a medical problem such as very severe allergic reactions to insect or snake bites you should bring an antidote appropriate for your individual condition.
- Bring sunscreen. We are about 8 degrees above the Equator and the sun is strong.
- Bring flashlights.
- Bring a light poncho as it can rain at any time.
- When you go hiking in the rainforest tennis shoes are fine. Sandals are not recommended except for the beach.
- Believe it or not it can get a little cool at night, especially if you stay more than a few days and have had time to acclimatize. A light weight long sleeved shirt and pants are a good idea.
