Here are 10 essential tips to make your adventure safe and unforgettable.
1. Pack light, quick-dry clothing
The jungle is humid and warm during the day. T-shirts, comfortable pants, and quick-dry clothing make your experience more enjoyable.
2. Bring layers and a rain jacket
Evenings can be cool and windy. A light sweater and a waterproof jacket are essential.
3. Protect your skin
Don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat or cap for hikes and canoe rides.
4. Proper footwear
Comfortable, water-resistant trekking boots and sandals for the lodge or water activities are the perfect combination.
5. Exploration gear
Binoculars, camera or GoPro, and a waterproof bag will let you capture every moment without worrying about water or humidity.
6. Stay hydrated
Always carry a reusable water bottle. Staying hydrated is essential in the Amazon climate.
7. Medications and first aid
Include personal medications, pain relievers, allergy medicine, and a basic first-aid kit. Prevention is part of the adventure.
8. Documents and travel insurance
Keep your passport, reservation confirmations, and travel insurance handy, preferably in a waterproof pouch.

The Amazon is home to unique species. Avoid touching animals or plants and follow the guides’ instructions.
10. Enjoy and disconnect
The jungle is a place to connect with nature. Enjoy every hike, wildlife encounter, and moment of silence to relax and marvel at your surroundings.
