What should I pack when moving to Cuenca?
We asked people living in Cuenca to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"We wish we would have brought a Leatherman, our Vitamix and a portable water filter. We could have done without so many clothes," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Cuenca, Ecuador.
"Since Cuenca experiences a subtropical highland climate, it is important to bring items for both hot and cold temperatures. Bring plenty of lightweight layers and items made of natural fabrics like cotton and wool since synthetic fabrics can be uncomfortable in the warm weather. Also, don't forget to pack rain gear and a pair of waterproof boots since it rains frequently in Cuenca. Additionally, be sure to bring a charger and adapter for all your electronic items since the voltage in Ecuador is different from other countries. Finally, don't forget to bring any necessary items related to your lifestyle, as well as a few favorite items from home to make your transition easier," commented one expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador, Ecuador.
