What should I pack when moving to Acapulco?
We asked people living in Acapulco to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Acapulco, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to pack a hat and sunglasses for protection from the sun. You should also pack a good quality sunscreen and insect repellent. Bring along comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and flip flops for the beach. If you plan on dining in upscale restaurants or attending formal events, pack some smart casual outfits. Pack all necessary toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. Don't forget to pack your passport, driver's license, and other necessary identification. It's also a good idea to bring copies of important documents, such as your birth certificate and insurance policies. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook if you're not fluent in Spanish. Also, consider bringing a guidebook to help you explore Acapulco. If you're bringing electronics, remember that Mexico uses Type A and Type B plugs, so you may need a power adapter. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, and consider bringing a filter or purification tablets if you're concerned about water quality," commented one expat who made the move to Acapulco, Mexico.
