What should I pack when moving to Salento?
We asked people living in Salento to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Salento, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the warm climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. Don't forget a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking in the nearby Cocora Valley. A rain jacket or umbrella is also essential as Salento can experience heavy rainfall. Pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. A swimsuit is also a must for enjoying the local hot springs and beaches. Bring along any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any recommended vaccinations for travel in Colombia. Don't forget your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. Also, bring copies of important documents like your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as English is not widely spoken in Salento. Bring a power adapter for your electronics, as Colombia uses a different plug type than many other countries. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle, as tap water in Salento is not safe to drink," said another expat in Salento, Colombia.
