What should I pack when moving to Tumbaco?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Tumbaco to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Tumbaco, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the warm climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. However, also pack a few sweaters or light jackets for cooler evenings and occasional rain showers. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, as the sun can be quite strong in Ecuador. A hat and sunglasses will also be useful for sun protection. Pack a sturdy pair of walking shoes or hiking boots if you plan on exploring the beautiful landscapes and mountains around Tumbaco. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that might be hard to find in Ecuador. Remember to pack all your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary insurance papers. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, or download a translation app on your phone, as not everyone in Tumbaco may speak English. Bring along your electronics, such as your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. However, keep in mind that you may need a voltage converter or plug adapter for your devices. Lastly, pack some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tumbaco, Ecuador.
