"When moving to Providencia Island, make sure to pack your passport, visa, and other essential travel documents. Bring along lightweight, breathable clothing for the tropical climate, as well as a few warmer layers for cooler evenings. Don't forget a swimsuit, sunscreen, and a hat for sun protection, as well as insect repellent to ward off mosquitoes. Pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, and consider bringing a pair of water shoes for exploring the island's beaches and coral reefs. Bring any necessary prescription medications, a basic first aid kit, and any personal toiletries you may need. It's also a good idea to pack a reusable water bottle, a waterproof phone case, and a portable charger for your electronic devices. Finally, bring a camera or smartphone to capture memories of your time on the beautiful island," wrote a member who made the move to Providencia Island, Colombia.
