What kind of luggage should I bring?

We strongly recommend you limit your weight to 15 kilos (33 pounds apiece). You can leave your large luggage in our office at Puerto Maldonado. If you are visiting other destinations in Peru or South America that require different kinds of clothing, you can always pack separate bags and safely leave them at our offices in Puerto Maldonado on the first day so we won’t be carrying them around uselessly. Your bag will be waiting for you at the airport the day you leave.

What should I pack ?

It will depend on the places you want to visit and the activities you want to do, these are some recommendations:

  • Binoculars
  • Camera gear, bring your long lens!
  • Light-colored, long cotton pants
  • Long-sleeved, light-colored cotton shirts
  • Ankle-high hiking boots and sneakers
  • Flashlight (headlamp) with batteries
  • Sunblock lotion
  • Sunglasses
  • Broad-brimmed hat
  • Rain suit or poncho
  • Insect repellent
  • Small-denomination bills
  • Small daypack

NOTAS:

  • Around the lobby, you will find racks with rubber boots arranged by size. The largest size we carry is 11. You can use these boots for your walks or outings into the forest. Please remember that when walking inside the lodge facilities and in order to prevent bringing mud inside, you must take out your boots or muddy shoes. We suggest using sandals, clean sneakers, slippers, or socks. During the rainy season the corridors to your rooms get wet, so we recommend bringing light anti-slip slippers to avoid getting your socks wet.
  • If you are bringing any other luggage of high value or for professional purposes, please inform us in advance, so that we can coordinate the respective permits.
Are vegetarian foods available at our Tambopata lodges?

Yes, but please indicate in your reservation which diet you follow, so that we can prepare a menu according to your diet.
