What should I pack when moving to Puerto Lopez?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Puerto Lopez, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. A swimsuit is essential for enjoying the beautiful beaches, and a light jacket or sweater can be useful for cooler evenings. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town and hiking in the nearby Machalilla National Park. If you plan on snorkeling or diving, you might want to bring your own equipment, although it can also be rented locally. Bring any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they might not be available locally. Remember to pack all necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, and any other identification. You should also bring copies of these documents, as well as any important medical records. Lastly, don't forget to pack a camera to capture the beautiful scenery, and a good book for relaxing on the beach," said another expat in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador.
