Now that you are clear, after much thought, that your next adventure is in Iquitos<\/b>, you may be wondering what you need for this trip to the Peruvian Amazon.

Mosquito repellent, the most essential thing to travel to Iquitos<\/h2>\n

The mosquito repellent<\/b> can never be missing from your luggage for the tour in Iquitos<\/a>, you must not forget that you are going to the Amazonian forest<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"applying<\/center><\/p>\n

A lot of dampness and abundant vegetation<\/b> is the ideal habitat of the mosquitoes<\/b>, whose bites<\/b> besides being annoying can become very painful<\/b>.<\/p>\n

So the repellent must be one of your best friends in the Amazon and it is recommended that you apply it constantly<\/b>. Besides mosquitoes, you will also avoid being bitten by other insects.<\/p>\n

And if you add a bed with a good mosquito repellent net<\/b>, you will be more than prepared to try to avoid being bitten. Although we don’t know if all that will be enough…<\/p>\n

\"room<\/p>\n

Sunscreen, cap, and sunglasses<\/h2>\n

The sun is a source of health and we all like to have a healthy tan. But we cannot forget that in the areas close to the tropics the sun hits more strongly<\/b>.<\/p>\n

You will be in full nature, very exposed <\/b>to the sun and a “burn” could ruin the rest of the trip<\/b>. We recommend a sunscreen of no less than factor 50<\/b>.<\/p>\n
