What should I pack when moving to Caracas?

Answer this Question

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

"I wish I brought my non-toxic insect repellent, more fancy clothes (people here dress up more) and a car (cars here are overpriced and there's a waiting list for purchases). I wish I left my uncomfortable shoes because I walk a lot more. Other than that, everything I brought has come in handy," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Caracas, Venezuela.

"When moving to Caracas, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, as the city has a tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Caracas experiences frequent rainfall. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sandals, and flip-flops, as you will likely be walking around the city and visiting nearby beaches. Pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Make sure to bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit with over-the-counter medications like pain relievers, antacids, and allergy medicine. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Bring important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification you may need. Make copies of these documents and store them separately from the originals. Pack a travel adapter and voltage converter, as Venezuela uses different electrical outlets and voltage than many other countries. Bring any necessary electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. Include some toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, and soap, to get you started in your new home. You may also want to pack a few rolls of toilet paper, as it can sometimes be difficult to find in Caracas. Bring some non-perishable snacks and a reusable water bottle, as you may need them during your travels or upon arrival in Caracas. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as well as a guidebook or map of Caracas to help you navigate the city and communicate with locals. Finally, consider bringing a few personal items, such as photos, small decorations, or mementos from home, to make your new living space feel more comfortable and familiar," commented one expat who made the move to Caracas, Venezuela.
