What should I pack when moving to Tulum?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Tulum, it's important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. This includes items like shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. You should also pack a few swimsuits for the beach and water activities. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of water shoes if you plan on visiting the cenotes. A hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen are also essential to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Tulum can experience sudden rain showers. If you plan on dining at upscale restaurants or visiting more formal venues, pack a few dressier outfits. Remember to bring all necessary toiletries, including travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toothpaste. However, keep in mind that these items can also be purchased locally. Pack any prescription medications you need, along with a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. If you plan on using your electronics, don't forget to pack the necessary chargers and adapters. Lastly, bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case of loss or theft," remarked another expat who made the move to Tulum, Mexico.
