Pack Light. Travel Comfortably. Enjoy the Amazon. 

​

Preparing for your Gateway Experience doesn't require specialized expedition equipment.

​

Whether you've chosen one of our Lodge-Based Gateway Experiences or an Into the Wild Camping Gateway Experience, packing appropriately will help you stay comfortable while enjoying everything the Amazon has to offer.

​

Our goal is to help you travel light, stay prepared, and fully enjoy your rainforest adventure.

​

​

BEFORE YOU PACK

The Amazon is warm, humid, and unpredictable.

​

We recommend bringing lightweight, breathable clothing that dries quickly and protects you from both the sun and insects.

​

Avoid overpacking.

​

Most travelers bring far more than they actually use.

​

Remember:

• Pack for comfort, not fashion.

• Choose practical clothing.

• Protect electronics from humidity.

​

• Bring only what you'll actually need.
