What should I pack when moving to Las Tablas?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Las Tablas, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and surrounding areas. A hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen are also essential to protect yourself from the strong sun. You should also pack a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella, as Panama has a rainy season. If you plan on visiting the beach, pack your swimsuit, beach towel, and snorkeling gear if you have it. For any formal occasions or dining out, pack a few smart-casual outfits. It's also a good idea to pack a few warmer items, like a light sweater or jacket, for cooler evenings or air-conditioned places. Don't forget to pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and a basic first-aid kit. However, keep in mind that you can buy most of these items locally. Pack a reliable insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Also, consider packing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Lastly, remember to pack all necessary documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. Remember, it's always better to pack light and buy what you need locally. This not only makes traveling easier, but it also supports the local economy," said another expat in Las Tablas, Panama.
