What should I pack when moving to Ometepe Island?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Ometepe Island, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and lightweight pants. Don't forget a swimsuit for the beach and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. A light rain jacket or umbrella is also necessary as sudden rain showers are common. Pack sturdy, comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring the island, as well as flip-flops for the beach. Include a good quality sunscreen, insect repellent, and any necessary prescription medications. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and help reduce plastic waste. A good quality camera or smartphone is essential for capturing the beautiful scenery. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as English is not widely spoken on the island. Also, bring a power adapter if your devices don't use the same plug type as Nicaragua. Lastly, pack copies of important documents like your passport, driver's license, and health insurance information. It's also a good idea to have some local currency on hand for small purchases," explained one expat living in Ometepe Island, Nicaragua.
