The Amazon Rainforest ecosystem is rich and biodiverse, from the treetops to the dark mysterious waters, the Amazon thrives with life. Consequently, the Amazon river presence in the natural world isn’t short of impressive – being the largest river (by the discharge of water) in the world, and the second in length, with approximately 6400 meters (equivalent to 4000 miles). All this has gained it the nickname “The River Sea”. The river is not only impressive in length but in expansion, with around 1,100 tributaries. 17 of those are about 1,600 kilometers long (1000 miles), expanding through several countries of the South American region. Most importantly the Amazon river is fundamental to a healthy ecosystem as it provides a whopping 20% of the Ocean’s freshwater supply.

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.
