What to pack
For a trip to Итайтуба, lightweight, breathable clothing is essential year-round. During the rainy season, from January to April, pack quick-dry fabrics, a compact rain jacket, and waterproof footwear to handle sudden downpours. A small umbrella can also be useful for short walks.
In the dry season, from June to October, focus on sun protection: a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. Evenings remain warm, so long sleeves are more about mosquito protection than warmth. A reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated in the consistent heat.
