Luggage and bags: Normal luggage and a small back pack to carry your things during forest hikes.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Rubber boots are provided by the lodge - you will need these if you hike anywhere! Too muddy for walking shoes, but you will need to take these to get up to the lodge in the first place.
Take several thin dark/camoflagued T shirts with you, same for trousers. As soon as you start hiking you find yourself soaking wet from perspiration. So you need to change into dry clothes at the end of the day.
Loads of socks as they get wet too.
You could take a rain coat, but I found it too hot for this!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Plasdters for blisters etc. General travel first aid kit is a good precaution whereever you go..
Photo Equipment: I found it difficult to photo anything animal wise here due to the extreme foliage! But even so I had my trust 300mm lens with me at all times just incase I saw a Spectecled Bear!! You can see the photos I took on the other tips area.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: You need a flashlight as there is no electricity at the lodge!
Take some matches or a lighter with you for candles etc. - these are provided, but helpful to have your own light just in case.
Miscellaneous: Mosquito repellent - the locals say it is too high for lots of mosquitos! - but as usual I still got bitten... take repellent!
