What to bring back from Costa Rica and Panama?
In December/January I’m going to Costa Rica and Panama for a medical volunteer trip. I have all of my expenses covered but don’t know how much money to bring with me for shopping. I’m not sure what these countries are known for/what I can bring back. Any suggestions on what to get/look for and how much money to bring for shopping? Thanks so much!

well panama is kind free port , so very much all electronics and home articles will be cheap , problem is if you have to pay tax for it here and if you actually are allow to bring something here.

Nothing says “Panama”, like a Mola, it’s native art made by the Kunas. It’s kinda like embossed fabric, hand sewn by native women, any mola you see will be made by hand, as the technique cannot be replicated by a sewing machine. They range in price from a couple of bucks to hundreds for more elaborate pieces. They’re on t-shirts, purses, caps etc. but i prefer them as wall art, they come in frames, but I buy them loose and frame them here, it’s just more convenient for travel. You can also get pottery but it’s not as beautiful and it can break inside luggage. If you want I can tell you which tourist friendly stores you can get them, because they’re more expensive in the airport.
Have fun..wish I were going!
