What should I pack when moving to Pereira?
We asked people living in Pereira to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Pereira, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the city's warm climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. However, also pack a few sweaters or light jackets for cooler evenings or if you plan to travel to higher altitudes. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as you may be doing a lot of walking or hiking. Also, include a pair of sandals or flip-flops for the beach or casual wear. Pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Pereira can experience heavy rainfall throughout the year. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Pack your toiletries, but remember that you can also buy most items in local stores. Don't forget to bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. Pack a travel adapter for your electronics, as Colombia uses a different plug type than many other countries. Bring a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Pereira may speak English. Pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, consider packing a few items from home to make your new place feel more comfortable and familiar," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Pereira, Colombia.
