The Amazon offers incredible landscapes, fascinating remote communities, and, best of all, abundant wildlife. However, most visits to the Amazon are accompanied by unpredictable weather, buggy conditions, and lots of active adventures—which can make packing for this experience a bit challenging, to say the least.
