Re: South America / Rainforest trip - lens selection

That seems like a lot of stuff. MP and the Sacred Valley is at high altitude and the weight may bother you. Meanwhile the rainforest is a rainforest. You'll be packing lots of clothes to accommodate different climates and I would error on less photo gear. If it were me, I would sacrifice on the tele-lens. Photos of wildlife in a rainforest canopy are some of the most difficult to pull off. Unless of course you're headed to the Argentine side of Patagonia near Peninsula Valdez. If so, bring something long because there are very doable wildlife shots there with little obstruction and good light (penguins, elephant seals, etc. depending on the time of year)
