What should I pack when moving to San Carlos?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to San Carlos, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Panama has a rainy season. If you plan on visiting the mountains or highlands, pack some warm clothing as temperatures can drop significantly. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. If you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Remember to pack your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your first few months. Also, pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter medication for common ailments like headaches and stomach upsets. Pack your electronics like your laptop, smartphone, and their chargers. An adapter might be necessary as Panama uses type A and B plugs. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments that might not be available locally. Lastly, pack items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small decor items, or your favorite books," explained one expat living in San Carlos, Panama.
