Choose footwear with grip
Wear closed, treaded shoes that handle wet rocks and muddy approaches to river crossings.
Protect electronics
Use a dry bag or zip-lock for phones and cameras—the spray behind the falls is intense.
Hydrate early and often
Bring a refillable bottle; bottled water is provided but you'll want extra between stops.
Expect basic scrambling
Short hands-on sections require balance and a steady step—poles are not practical on wet boulders.
Sturdy trail shoes
Grippy soles protect on wet boulders and muddy jungle trails.
Dry bag or waterproof phone case
Keeps electronics and spare clothes dry when swimming or if you get close to the falls.
Insect repellent
Tropical forests have persistent mosquitoes and biting insects, especially near water.
Light quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after swims and keeps you comfortable in humid conditions.
