That’s why we have listed a number of very important things that you should never forget for a trip to the Amazon.

  • Cream repellent
  • Sunscreen
  • Cap
  • Wide, light and light clothes
  • Boots or walking shoes
  • Sunglasses
  • Raincoat

As for footwear, it is normal to wear a boot because of the long walks in the woods, which prevents you from hurting your heel and other parts. But if you don’t have a boot, a tennis shoe already solves this problem.

What is possible to do in a jungle hotel?

In a jungle hotel there are many possibilities, from activities such as canoeing, interacting with the porpoises, focusing on alligators, diving in the river, visiting riverside communities or even sleeping in a hammock in the middle of the forest.
