SOME INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR STAY
WHAT TO BRING FOR YOUR TRIP TO THE JUNGLE?
​
The Peruvian jungle has a tropical climate with average daily temperatures of 30ºC and nighttime temperatures can drop to 15ºC. Know the weather forecast before your trip to prepare the most suitable clothing, footwear, accessories, toiletries, and hygiene items.

Generally, it's a good idea to pack light; we'll be traveling by boat, and bringing only the essentials will make handling the luggage easier.
