Important Recommendations
Don\'t forget the entry fees for Leticia ($45,000 COP) and Puerto Nariño ($20,000 COP).
Power bank – flashlight.
Keep your yellow fever vaccination card on hand: remember it must be administered at least 15 days before the trip. You can get it for free at Bogotá\'s El Dorado Airport, at the Sanidad Portuaria office (International Terminal, Gate No. 0), or at local health centers.
Pack light, and place everything in plastic bags to avoid moisture damage.
For clothing, we recommend light-colored cotton clothes, drill or nautical-fabric pants, long-sleeve shirts, a hat or cap, swimwear, sneakers and comfortable shoes, and a waterproof jacket.
Additional items to bring: a flashlight with spare batteries, sunscreen, personal care items, and a medium-sized towel, preferably quick-drying.
For water activities such as kayaking, canoe rides, and fishing, avoid bringing cameras, cell phones, video cameras, and jewelry — these items are your own responsibility.
Be sure to bring mosquito repellent (we recommend a homemade mix of NOPIQUEX soap, menthol, and tobacco from 3 cigarettes; combine well, and after two days, once the tobacco has released its essence, strain it and add Johnson\'s Baby Oil — apply to clothing and skin).
Use rubber rain boots for jungle outings and hikes; you can buy them at the destination (between $35,000 and $50,000 COP) or rent them ($5,000 COP per day). Shake out your footwear (boots or sneakers) well before putting them on to avoid accidents.
An additional small backpack for daily outings.
Bring cash in local currency (Colombian pesos, COP) in small denominations, as digital transactions are not always possible.
If you take medication, don\'t forget to bring it along with a copy of your prescription. If you have any ongoing medical treatment or known allergies, please let our advisors know in advance, as well as the guides and experience coordinator upon arrival at the destination.
Also let us know if you follow any special diet or have any food allergies.
Don\'t litter in the parks or sites visited — take your trash back to the city or dispose of it properly (in trash cans or at the hotel).
Having expert local guides is important to maximize the experience and to understand the importance of conservation in this region.
We suggest supporting local communities through your purchases — their handicrafts and products (no skulls, feathers, or similar items).
