What should I pack when moving to Copan Ruinas?

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

"When moving to Copan Ruinas, 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 rain jacket or umbrella as it can rain quite frequently. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you'll likely be exploring the ancient Mayan ruins and cobblestone streets. Pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Also, consider packing insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Bring along any prescription medications you may need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack a water bottle that you can refill, as staying hydrated is important in the tropical climate. If you plan on using electronic devices, pack a power adapter as the electrical outlets in Honduras may be different from those in your home country. Pack enough toiletries to last you until you can find a local store, as well as any specific brands you can't live without. Lastly, don't forget to pack important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost," commented one expat who made the move to Copan Ruinas, Honduras.
