Benoît DucrotFrequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to visit the Amazon?
The Amazon can be visited year-round. There is no good or bad season—each time of year offers a different experience. During the high-water season, you can navigate deeper into the flooded rainforest; during the low-water season, hiking opportunities increase and beaches appear along the Yavarí River.
When is the high-water season and when is the low-water season?
The high-water season usually runs from December to May or mid-June. The low-water season generally lasts from late June through November.
Can you go hiking during the high-water season?
Yes, but it depends on the length of the tour. On a 3-day tour, hiking is usually not included during the high-water season because suitable trails are farther away and require more time to reach. On 4- or 5-day tours, there is a greater chance of including hikes.
Which tour do you recommend: 3, 4, or 5 days?
If the traveler has limited time, the 3-day tour allows them to experience the essentials of the Amazon. If they are looking for a more immersive experience, the 4-day tour is more comprehensive. If they would like to include jungle camping and a deeper immersion in the rainforest, the 5-day tour is the best option.
