What should I pack when moving to San Lucas Toliman?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to San Lucas Toliman, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, as well as shorts and long pants. Don't forget to pack a rain jacket or umbrella, as Guatemala experiences a rainy season. Pack sturdy, comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain, as well as sandals for more casual occasions. Include a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any recommended vaccinations or preventative medications for tropical diseases. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Guatemala. Bring a reusable water bottle, as it's important to stay hydrated, but tap water may not be safe to drink. Pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Don't forget to bring any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, or camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. Pack personal hygiene items, as some items may be difficult to find or more expensive in Guatemala. Lastly, consider packing some comfort items from home, such as favorite snacks, books, or photos, to help you settle into your new home," remarked another expat who made the move to San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala.
