On this occasion, Sucre news brings you 6 recommendations to prepare your trip to the Amazon jungle:
1.In the backpack
It is essential to wear comfortable clothing, preferably made of cotton material so that it draws moisture away from the body. It is also important to have closed shoes or boots, especially in swampy places. Finally, the most important thing is to wear a long-sleeved shirt to avoid mosquito bites.
2.The first aid kit
The medicines will help relieve headaches or any discomfort you experience due to sun exposure and mosquito bites. It is essential, of course, to use repellent. The use of sunscreen is essential. If we notice something strange in our stomach, we have spots on our body, or there is something different when we return from the trip, we should go see a doctor.
3.Excess humidity
Moisture can seriously damage our electronic devices, so it is advisable to store them in sealed plastic bags to avoid a catastrophe.
4.Light luggage
The ideal is to carry a single backpack-type suitcase, so that we can walk calmly through the swampy terrain. Wheels are not very useful for walking through the jungle, so we should refrain from carrying suitcases with wheels.
5.Electricity shortage
In some remote places it is very possible that the light will be cut off for much of the day and/or night. It is suggested to always have a flashlight on hand for the trip. It doesn’t hurt for photography lovers to carry a full battery.
6.Binoculars
A good pair of binoculars is of great benefit when visiting the jungle. Several animals such as sloth bears, toucans and others are located at the top of the trees and are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
