    • I was unscathed for the first 2 days wearig long sleeves and using a moderate amout of DEET. Then we went to the waterfall. It was OK while you're in the water. But when I got up and walk on the top of the fall, that's when I got massacred! Actually these damages were done by sand flies, not mosquitos.

    Also if you plan to swim in Sandoval lake, put on DEET before you get into the water. DEET is not water soluable, you can only wash it off with soap.

    • Insect repellent with 30-40% DEET should protect you adequately. More concetration only length the time of protection. DEET is a pretty strong stuff, avoid getting it into your eyes and mouth. Spray some on your hand and then aplly to you face. I got some spray on my sunglasses, it melted away the top coating!!!

    • It cost another $20USD to get into the reserved area. Factor this into your expenses.

     You're right, the selva around Tambopata looks like the selva around Iquitos. But Iquitos city is unique in its decayed grandeur. You sure built your pages fast! Great job too!
