Amazonia Expeditions Itinerary Prep

Fun for families too

Documents
The only document required is a tourist passport (please contact us if you are not a US citizen). Please bring two copies of your passport picture page for help in reconfirming flights and as entrance requirement for the reserve. No visa is required. No vaccination certificate is required. In our 27 years working in this region we have not yet had a traveler become sick with a tropical disease. There is malaria in some places of NE Peru, but we attempt to avoid regions at risk. The taking of malarial prophyllaxis is at your discretion. Please contact us for more details.

Clothes
Long and short pants; long sleeved shirts and tee shirts (tee shirts with our full color logo can be prepurchased here for $20); rain gear; hat with brim; swim suit; sneakers and hiking shoes (some prefer rubber boots, canoe enthusiasts like reef walkers or water moccasins). Daytime high temperatures are 80-88 F. One sweatshirt or sweater as evenings can get down to 60 F.

Other recommended
Sun block (you are close to the equator where there is less atmospheric protection from UV); insect repellent (taking garlic and vitamin B1 helps); canteen or water bottle; flashlight with spare batteries; spare AA batteries for room light; personal first aid kit; personal toiletries; daypack or small backpack.

Optional
Binoculars; camera; video (there is a generator for recharging batteries).

Money
Needed only for airport taxes and optional purchases such as souvenirs. US currency is good for all of that, but make sure your bills are in virtually new or mint condition.
