The following is a list of equipment that should be on your packing list for your jungle adventure.
All luggage, food, and supplies are transported by our staff, and depending on the number of persons in the group, these are transported in the same boat or in a different one.
If you do have luggage that is not going to be needed during your trip with us, you can ask your hotel clerk if they can save them for you. They generally can, but if not, you can leave your luggage with us.
If you are to be dropped off at the airport at the end of your trip, we recommend bringing all your luggage with you. If by any chance you got some stuff that is fragile and cannot be taken to the lodge and you are to be dropped at the airport, you can leave them with us and we will take them to the airport for you.

Do not bring a lot of cash since it is not needed during your jungle trip. If you are planning to buy some souvenirs or handicrafts, S/. 100 is enough and is better if you bring in small bills or coins. Getting change is a little difficult.
It would also be nice and really appreciated if you bring some gifts for the locals.
A T-shirt, shoes, sandals or any clothing you do not use you can bring and give them away.
Notebooks, pens, pencils, or any kind of school supplies for school children are also welcome.
You personally will give them away.
