What should I pack when moving to Puerto Bolivar?

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

"When moving to Puerto Bolivar, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. However, also pack a few warm clothes for cooler nights or if you plan to visit the highlands. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket or umbrella, is essential due to the frequent rain showers. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes or hiking boots if you plan to explore the local terrain. Also, include beachwear and a good sunscreen for the sunny beach days. A hat and sunglasses will also be useful to protect you from the sun. Pack all your necessary toiletries, but remember that most items can be bought locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Remember to bring any prescription medication you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Also, bring copies of these documents and keep them separate from the originals. If you plan to work or study, bring any necessary materials, such as a laptop, notebooks, and pens. Don't forget to pack a power adapter for your electronics, as the plug type in Ecuador may be different from your home country. Lastly, consider packing some comfort items, like your favorite snacks, books, or photos of loved ones, to help make your new place feel like home," explained one expat living in Puerto Bolivar, Ecuador.
