What should I pack when moving to Ataco?

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

"When moving to Ataco, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and lightweight pants. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking trails. A rain jacket or umbrella is essential as the region experiences heavy rainfall, especially during the rainy season from May to October. Also, pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring along 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 plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Ataco. Pack all 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. Don't forget your electronics, like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter may be necessary as the power outlets in El Salvador are different from those in the U.S. Lastly, pack some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," wrote a member who made the move to Ataco, El Salvador.
