* Remember the last leg of the journey is by foot, best to use a back pack rather than a suitcase. Non the less, porter service is provided, and suitcase is fine if it’s what you have.
* San Jose is subtropical, but can be chilly at night, so a pair of pants and light sweater is recommended
* There are remarkably few bugs here, non the less they seem to like some people more than others, if   you are prone to bug bites bring repellant!
