For Latin America I would say a Grayl water filter bottle is a must-have. Unfortunately I lost mine on the way home after my first trip with it, but I immediately bought another one. It’s $100, but definitely worth it when tap water isn’t safe. Also great for long walks during the day that may have a waterfall/stream.
