WHat to bring?When going to a tropical rain forest you should always wear comfortable shoes so in case you go hiking, camping, and I would wear toe closed shoes because there are many bugs or insects that could be dangerous. Even though the temperature is hot and humid I would wear a light and long sleeve shirt to protect yourself from thorns from plants and insects.Maybe a raincoat or poncho because obviously its a rain forest so its rains a lot. Maybe bring a bathing suit in case you encounter a river or lake
