What should I pack when moving to Santa Tecla?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Santa Tecla, 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 to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking shoes if you plan to visit the nearby mountains. Pack a rain jacket or umbrella as Santa Tecla experiences a rainy season. Also, include a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in El Salvador. Pack all your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary work documents. Don't forget your electronics, like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international power adapter might also be necessary. Lastly, pack some personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Santa Tecla, El Salvador.
