Please advise on what kind of things you wished you had while hiking and camping in the jungle. I know that the basics will be covered but you list those as well just so I can be sure I am not missing anything. I love gadgets so feel free to include those as well.


Answer
One of the best things I had with me in the Peruvian jungle was this head buff/bandana. I was able to cover my neck and ears and face as necessary to avoid mosquito bites or any other of the creepy insects in the jungle.

Also a flashlight for night exploration was something I didn't bring and had to borrow. Wish I had my own.

And the insect repellent wipes were awesome to have on you to re-apply as needed. Put them in a plastic baggy as they are pretty wet and might leak depending on which ones you buy. I bought the ones that were individually wrapped which was very convenient.

I also wore a really thin long sleeve shirt to protect myself from the sun, jungle foliage and bugs.

As far as the basics, I brought:
cheap sunglasses - in case I broke them or lost them
sun block
hat
poncho - bring some type of plastic bag so you can store in your backpack.
daypack
anti bacterial soap or toilettes
anti-itch cream
aloe vera gel
band aids

Hope this is helpful. Have a great trip. It was one of my favorite adventures.
