Recommended Vaccinations

No vaccinations are required if you are traveling directly from the United States. However, a Yellow Fever Vaccination. Certificate is required if you have visited in the past 90 days or if you will visit one of the following countries before entering Brazil: Angola, Benin, Bolivia, Cameroon, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, French Guyana, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Peru, Sierre Leone, Sudan and Venezuela.

We do not recommend Malaria pills. Our experience is the side effects can ruin one’s week and there is no history of Malaria on the Agua Boa River. Consult with your doctor on Malaria precautions.

Please check with the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta for updated recommendations on vaccinations and medicines needed for the Brazilian Amazon. 

*Please note the CDC website does suggest Malaria pills when traveling to the Amazon.  In our many years on the Agua Boa, we have not had any guests get Malaria.  There is a risk of exposure in more populated areas like Manaus.  Please consult your physician for further guidance.

We highly suggest making an appointment with your doctor prior to your trip to discuss booster shots and prescription medications you should take along with you just in case.  It’s a good idea no matter your age to talk to your doctor prior to leaving. They will have all of the CDC recommendations.  A general practicioner at your local clinic can help you.
