  Eduardo,
  this question comes up from time to time, like this:
  http://answers.worldnomads.com/questions/cambodia/20608/malaria-tablets-to-take-or-not-to-take-that-is-the-question
  I hasten to point out this is NOT medical nor insurance advice - talk to your own doctor about this.
  Personally, I was in the Peruvian Amazon basin earlier this year and I took extreme care to protect myself from being bitten (long sleeves, strong repellent) so I was protected from Dengue as well as Malaria.
