Luggage and bags: a strong Backpack with lining or sealed Suitcase would be appropriate, learn some portugues
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: travel lite, wash or let wash in the Hotel laundry...good footwear is essential
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: many articles you will find in Manaus to suit, ask you GP when on Medication and get your shots beforehand.

Luggage and bags: Pack light, you dont want to have to carry all your stuff onto boats and all.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sneekers or hiking boots are great for jungle hiking and for manaus and the city sandals and excellent.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Malaria pills/medication are optional, but I would reccomend them only if you are going by the Rio Amazonas ar deeper up the Rio Negro.
Photo Equipment: CAMERA! Video if you want also.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring some long clothes, the bats and mosquitos are worse at night and they are attracted to black, but this might juse be a rumor I heard in Manaus.
Miscellaneous: Mosquito repellent is a must, espacially by the Rio Amazonas (not so much by the Negro, they claim to nao have any mosquitos due to acidity levels, but thats not true: however, there are not as many on the Rio Negro). The mosquitos will eat you alive on the Rio Amazonas so you should have good repellent (but one that is not harmful to the environment!)!
