Jungle trek equipment needed

[jungle2010]

We are planning a jungle trek for around 10 days in the North in around a months time. We need to buy / make hammocks, mossie nets and need to source 2 pairs of decent hiking boots and maps for the area.

Any advice / website suggestions gratefully received.

Hiking boots- Go to Timberland in Abasto shopping. I bought mine there for Aconcagua and they have held me up fine for many Andes and Alps trips too.

As to camping gear there are other stores in Abasto which cater well.

There is also a Camping/expedition store barrio. Between Tribunales and Santa Fe I think. Not sure, anyone else know exactly?

You can check out Montagne - they specialize in camping and backpacking equipment, etc. They have tons of locations all over the country.

Last but not least. I would suggest you start swallowing Malaria pills (Dioxlin) the day before you leave, and bring some ointment to ward off Dengue flies. I have 1 5-month supply of pills that I will start eating when I leave for Iguazu on the 17th.
