Ecuadorian Amazon Vacations

COVID-19 has led to huge changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Ecuadorian Amazon, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Find out what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check in advance.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
• Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
