[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, still in Ecuador and heading home this weekend.

As a lady I wished I packed more shorts for walking to and from sites while wet. I ended up buying shorts in Santa Cruz. The chub rub and a cover up were no fun. Also wish I had a sturdy hiking sandal.

We are currently in the cloud forest (Mindo), and I wish I packed a head lamp for night walks. Luckily our tour guide had one to line out.

10/10 and would visit again! Considering cancelling our spring trip to Costa Rica because the animals/birds we saw was simply unbelievably.[/quote]

Thank you for your report.  Do you think regular cotton shorts are okay, or do you think you need like athletic shorts?  We won't be there until April and I keep going back and forth on whether I'm going to be cold when snorkeling.  I adore snorkeling but do get very cold in the water.  Google says the water temps are 76-77 in April, which I guess is only a couple degrees colder than what it is in Hawaii in the summer, and I don't use a wetsuit when I snorkel then, but I know I'm usually cold when water temps are low 70s.  
We did get the good Keen sandals when they were half off at Christmas, so I'm hoping those will work for hiking.  My son and I also own hiking boots, but my husband and daughter don't.[/quote]
