What should I pack when moving to Las Lajas?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Las Lajas, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. A rain jacket or umbrella is also essential as Panama experiences a rainy season. Don't forget to pack your swimwear, as Las Lajas is known for its beautiful beaches. Pack a good pair of walking shoes or sandals suitable for warm weather, as you may do a lot of walking or hiking. Also, include a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Bring along your necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them with you. Pack all necessary documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Also, bring copies of important documents like your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your first few months in Panama. Also, pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any over-the-counter medication you may need. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and chargers. If you plan on using your devices, make sure to bring a power adapter as Panama uses different outlets than some countries. Lastly, pack some comfort items from home. This could be your favorite snacks, books, or photos of loved ones. These items can help make your new place feel more like home," remarked another expat in Las Lajas, Panama.
