In terms of shoes… Closed shoes, hopefully walking or hiking. No flip-flops.
Short pants are not recommended since it can get chilly and rainy. Temperature falls sometimes to 60 F (15°C).
Repellent and Sunscreen. You will be in the rainforest and in the tropics. And even if under the canopy (in the forest), the UV tropical sun rays trespass anything.
On the other hand, mosquitoes are the lords and owners of the rainforest. You are a visitor. So, simply wear your repellent.
Camera, and enough memory in it!
Rain Gear If you want to bring a rain jacket, it is fine. Rain ponchos are recommended. Umbrellas are not recommended.
Binoculars are really advised. Every now and then there are amazing wonders up in the canopy. The resplendent quetzal, the bell bird, and even monkeys can be common visitors in the same trails that we use.
And certainly… your appetite and credit cards! Shopping in these areas is quite unique.
Euros may present a slighter problem sometimes.
