What should I pack when moving to Canoa?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Canoa, it's important to pack lightweight clothing due to the warm, tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. Don't forget a swimsuit for the beach and a hat to protect from the sun. Also, pack a light rain jacket or umbrella for the rainy season. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on hiking or exploring the mountains, pack sturdy hiking boots and a backpack. Bring your essential toiletries, but remember 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 a good quality sunscreen and insect repellent. These are essential due to the strong sun and the presence of mosquitoes. Bring your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. While there are pharmacies available, having a supply of your necessary medications is important. Don't forget your passport, driver's license, and other important documents. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, or have a translation app ready on your phone. While some locals may speak English, Spanish is the official language. Bring your electronics like your phone, laptop, and chargers. Remember to pack a power adapter as Ecuador uses different plugs than some other countries. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and enough supplies. It might be hard to find your specific prescription in Ecuador. 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," wrote a member who made the move to Canoa, Ecuador.
