What should I pack when moving to Chichicastenango?
We asked people living in Chichicastenango to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Chichicastenango, it's important to pack clothing suitable for a tropical climate, including lightweight, breathable fabrics, rain gear, and sturdy footwear for walking on uneven terrain. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's a good idea to bring a water purifier or water purification tablets, as tap water in Guatemala is not safe to drink. Bring a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as English is not widely spoken in Chichicastenango. You might also want to pack a guidebook to help you navigate the local area and learn about the local culture and history. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as the electrical outlets in Guatemala may be different from those in your home country. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may not be available in Chichicastenango. Lastly, don't forget to pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, in case the originals are lost or stolen," explained one expat living in Chichicastenango, Guatemala.
