The best thing is to be prepared for a trip that you will never forget. Here we give you a list of things that you should not stop carrying in your suitcases. Do not worry that the owners Ursula and Juan Miguel can advise you on any questions you have, as they provide personalized attention.

• Insect repellent: Better protect yourself by using an insect repellent both day and night. We recommend taking Complex B pills before and during your trip.
• Sun protection: A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are necessary for a trip to the jungle. Protecting yourself from the sun is important if you are going to take a boat ride on the river, or if you are going to be in the sun without shade.
• A flashlight: Spending a night in the jungle is an unforgettable experience. You will be able to hear the noise that the animals make but you don't want to do it in the dark. Several cottages don't have electricity, so pack a flashlight so you can see.
• Cotton clothing: Cotton will help keep your body cool during hot and humid days. Also, try to wear light-colored clothing because dark-colored clothing attracts mosquitoes.
• Plastic bag: A plastic bag will be very useful to carry your passport, plane tickets and your phone when you are out in a canoe.
• A raincoat: Pack a raincoat and you can avoid many long hours of travel with wet clothes.
• Cash: It is particularly difficult to find money exchanged in the jungle. If you plan to visit remote villages, you should know that it will be difficult to change your tickets.
• Choosing a suitable wardrobe: When preparing our luggage we must take into account the intense heat of the jungle, it is important to choose a light wardrobe, preferably cotton and in light colors. Dark tones attract the attention of insects.
• The jungle is hot and humid during the day, so most people wear shorts to feel cool. But if you are doing a tour in the forest, it is advisable to wear long pants, because the mosquitoes will find it more difficult to bite you.
• Be adventurous and love nature: In the jungle of Peru you can live adventure and tranquility, come open to live experiences that will change your life.
• Do not eat endangered species: However, there are many restaurants that offer dishes based on these species, which can generate confusion. The giant otter is an example of this. It is an animal whose body houses the flavor of 7 different types of meat. Sound appetizing? NO! The giant Amazon nutra is a protected species! The same happens with the Pirarucú, one of the largest fish in the world, which will surely be offered to you in several restaurants. This species is also protected and we should not eat it. It is also forbidden to carry samples of Amazonian flora and fauna.
• A good camera is the best luggage to go to the Amazon.
• No one will believe you that you went to the Amazon if you did not photograph the Victoria Regia. It is the largest water lily in the world. It is worth taking a boat to them and be enraptured by seeing them.
• If you have the opportunity to share a moment with some indigenous tribes, ask for their approval before taking pictures, as they may be upset.
• Some stretches of the Amazon River are so calm that they are perfect for seeing pink dolphins. We definitely recommend seeing these beautiful animals, as it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
• If you want to consume typical products of the region, we recommend arazá and copoazú, two exquisite fruits with which juices and sauces are made.
