What should I pack when moving to Montanita?
We asked people living in Montanita to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Montanita, it's essential to pack lightweight clothing due to the warm, tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and light dresses. A swimsuit is a must-have as the town is known for its beautiful beaches and surfing opportunities. Don't forget to pack a good pair of sandals for the beach and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town. A rain jacket or umbrella is necessary as Montanita can experience heavy rainfall, especially during the wet season. Also, pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong equatorial sun. In terms of electronics, remember to bring a power adapter as Ecuador uses Type A and Type B plugs. If you plan on using your phone, consider getting a local SIM card upon arrival. Pack all necessary toiletries, including insect repellent and any prescription medications you may need. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments, as they may be hard to find in local stores. Lastly, don't forget important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case of loss or theft," commented one expat who made the move to Montanita, Ecuador.
