What should I pack when moving to San Marcos La Laguna?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in San Marcos La Laguna to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to San Marcos La Laguna, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, as well as shorts and long pants. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Guatemala experiences a rainy season. Pack sturdy, comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain, as well as sandals for the beach. A hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen are also essential to protect against the strong sun. Bring a good quality insect repellent and any necessary prescription medications, as these may be difficult to find locally. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or hard-to-find ingredients. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Guatemala speaks English. Bring a reusable water bottle, as tap water in Guatemala is not safe to drink. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as the outlets in Guatemala may be different from those in your home country. Don't forget to bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Lastly, pack a few personal items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, a favorite book, or a special keepsake," wrote a member who made the move to San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala.
