What I need to pack to the Amazon?

We have the image of explorers who set off on an adventure in a dugout canoe to discover the unexplored areas of the Amazon. This may be true, but more often you will visit suitable areas. In the Amazon jungle, you have to expect rain. It’s hot and humid. This tropical climate requires you to choose things that are adapted to the environment you will be in.

Here is a list of things that could be useful for your adventure:

THE BAG
The Amazon rainforest is a humid place. The ideal is a waterproof bag or a protective cover.

SHOES
Waterproof walking shoes or rain boots, it depends on the weather on the site.

SOCKS
It’s best to choose high socks and cotton underwear.

THE TROUSERS
It should be flimsy and dry quickly

T-SHIRTS
With long or short sleeves.

Sports T-shirts that help regulate body temperature are a good option as well.

K-WAY
It is useful to carry a k-way or a rain cape with you.

ONE SWEAT
For airplane and bus travel.

A HAT

A TOWEL
It is best to use a towel that will dry very quickly and take up very little space (microfiber towel).

A SLEEPING BAG
Take a very thin sleeping bag, like a sheet.

A PILLOW
A small inflatable pillow is always handy.

A FLASHLIGHT
Night falls pretty early in the Amazon.

  • Thong
  • Sunglasses
  • Pair of Binoculars
  • Mosquito repellent is a must!
  • Hygiene products

The toiletry kit might be very simple:

  • An odorless deodorant to not attract mosquitoes…
  • No perfume
  • A hairbrush
  • A small shampoo (and a dry but odourless shampoo)
  • Soap
  • Hydro alcoholic gel
  • Sun cream

Following the Covid-19, you will also need to be equipped with :

  • Masks
  • Hydro alcoholic gel
  • Optional: Protective gloves

FIRST AID KIT
Several weeks before, make an appointment with your doctor to review your vaccinations. Plan ahead.
Your doctor will probably prescribe malaria pills for you.

EXTERNAL BATTERY
An external battery for your phone is always useful.

AND FINALLY, ENJOY!
Open your eyes and ears wide, it’s a magical experience. You may walk for hours before seeing animals, but what a pleasure it is to be able to observe them and to find yourself in this lush nature!
