Traveling to the Amazon Jungle

Here are some tips that will help prepare you for the trip. Some items you will be able to use during your visit, as well as in your spare time at the lodge.

The Amazon Jungle offers opportunities for cultural exchange, photography, adventure, fishing, hiking, relaxation, bird watching and wildlife spotting. The climate of tropical rainforests is usually warm and humid but never unbearable.

Thanks to biodiversity and top-notch guides, there is a good chance that you will see interesting animal species when visiting in the Amazon Jungle, so a cheap pair of waterproof binoculars could be just right for you. You will certainly find many different plants in the rainforest and you might want to bring a cheap magnifying glass as well.

La Selva is 0.2 degrees below the equator; therefore the stars are different from the ones seen by guests who live in the Northern Hemisphere. A very inexpensive guidebook, The Southern Night Sky (found in astronomy sections of bookstores) will guide you to the Southern Cross and much, much more.
