What should I pack when moving to Lake Chapala?

Answer this Question

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

"We moved to Mexico from a retirement motorhome, not a house,and brought everything in two trips in an SUV. Whatever one doesn't want can be put on consignment here and whatever you forgot will eventually be found to be available; just ask around," said a member in Ajijic, Lake Chapala, Mexico.

"You should pack for a warm, tropical climate with clothes that are lightweight and breathable, such as shorts, t-shirts and sandals. Bring items like a sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to keep you safe from the sun. Don't forget to pack insect repellent to keep pests away. Be sure to bring an umbrella and raincoat if you plan on spending time outdoors during rainy season. Make sure to bring a power adapter or converter since many of the outlets in Mexico are different than in the US. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport and other important documents," remarked another expat who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.
