Yacumama Lodge offers these packing guidelines to help our guests
prepare for this unique rain forest adventure:
We suggest that you always have a carry-on bag in your possession,
containing
any necessary prescription drugs or toiletries, one change of clothing
and one roll of toilet paper in case of lost luggage.
Also, bring a document holder that attaches around your neck for
passport, money, tickets and luggage keys. You could also use a
money belt for your cash.
When packing, please be sure to place a name tag on each piece
of luggage.

Also, remember that it is customary to put TP in trash basket
in the bathroom, for the plumbing in Peru cannot handle
paper.

NOTE: Please travel as
light as possible. Although we have suggested many things to bring,
most of the above can be purchased in lightweight materials and
washed at the lodge. One medium sized duffel bag or lightweight
suitcase and one carry on should be adequate to house all items
necessary. A fold up day pouch or fanny pack with a water bottle
is good for excursions. The less you have to keep track of the happier
you'll be!
