What should I pack when moving to Malacatos?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Malacatos, you should pack lightweight clothing suitable for a tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as the region experiences frequent rainfall. A hat and sunglasses will protect you from the intense sun, and a good quality sunscreen is a must. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the local area, and if you plan on hiking in the nearby Podocarpus National Park, consider packing hiking boots and outdoor gear. Bring a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook to help with communication, as English is not widely spoken in Malacatos. Pack all necessary medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a water purifier or iodine tablets, as tap water in Ecuador is not safe to drink. Remember to pack your passport, driver's license, and other important documents. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, in case the originals are lost or stolen. If you plan on using electronic devices, pack a power adapter, as the electrical outlets in Ecuador are different from those in many other countries. Finally, pack personal items that will make your new home feel more comfortable, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," commented one expat who made the move to Malacatos, Ecuador.
