For your travel to the Amazon it is advisable that you take only the necessary things with you. And because you probably need some help on packing your things, here below some recommendations of things you will need in your stay at the NAPO CULTURAL CENTER.

- Original passport (always good to have while traveling).
- Credit card Visa, MasterCard and Diners for bar bills and cash (US$) for handicraft purchases.
- Insect repellent. No inflammable sprays as they are not allowed by the airline. Sunscreen lotion with a high protection factor.
- Take in consideration that bright colors might scare the animals.
- Small day pack for excursions. Zip lock-type plastic bags to cover optics or other gear.
- Good binoculars for wildlife viewing 8x35 mm*.
- Camera/video gear (if using film, lower ASA for open areas (50 or 100), higher ASA for forest (400 and up). [24 hour electricity (110v) is available for charging batteries and digital equipment.]
- Sunglasses.
- Two or three T-shirts.
- Two or three long-sleeved lightweight shirts.
- Lightweight sweater or jacket.
- Two or three pairs of lightweight long pants.
- One or two pairs of shorts (mostly for around the lodge).
- Three or four pairs of long cotton socks (long)*.
- Raingear (if you prefer not to use the ponchos provided).
- One pair of sneakers and/or hiking boots.
- Sandals (Teva type or similar for around the lodge).
- Personal toiletries and medications (carry medications with you when arriving and leaving the lodge).
- A hat for sun protection (and that will stay on during windy boat rides).
- Extra batteries/film/video tapes as appropriate.
- Flashlight or headlamp bright enough for use.
