Luggage and bags: Pack light and carry a lot of water.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It does cool off at night up in the mountains and cloud forest so take some long pants and long sleeved shirts. Dress is casual but you will want some comfy walking shoes for sure.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: I always take my own toilet tissue with me. Take what ever else you will need or want because you won't find much here.
Photo Equipment: Don't forget the camera and film or memory cards.
Miscellaneous: Buy a map before you leave home and take it with you.
