What should I pack when moving to Loja?

"When moving to Loja, you should pack lightweight clothing suitable for a tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. However, also pack some warmer clothing like sweaters and jeans for cooler evenings and higher altitudes. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket or umbrella, is essential due to the frequent rain showers. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes or hiking boots if you plan on exploring the beautiful natural surroundings. Sun protection items like sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are also necessary due to the strong equatorial sun. Pack all necessary toiletries, including any specific brands you prefer, as they may not be available in Loja. Similarly, if you take any prescription medications, bring a sufficient supply along with a copy of your prescription. Remember to bring important 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. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or food items that may not be available in Ecuador. Lastly, pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, or have a translation app ready on your phone, as English is not widely spoken in Loja," said another expat in Loja, Ecuador.
