We suggest you consider every item mentioned on this page, at the same time have a lot of criteria in the quantity and size of each of the products you obtain considering the amount of days of your expedition. Remember, that the more compacted you pack, the lighter your load will be during long treks through the jungle. In a few words "PACK LIGHT AND SMART".
