Amazon Travel Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Key information on preparing, packing, vaccinations, weather, and wildlife viewing for your Amazon journey.

The Amazon is a fantastic year-round destination. The dry season (May to October) features lower river levels, expansive sandbanks for spotting jaguars and tapirs, and drier walking trails. The green season (November to April) brings lush blooming flora, optimal boat access deep into flooded forest tributaries, and peak macaw activity on clay licks.

Our expeditions explore premier biodiversity hotspots. Travelers regularly observe Giant River Otters, Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, Black Caimans, Capybaras, and multiple monkey species (Howler, Spider, Squirrel, Capuchin, Tamarin). During river navigations in the dry season, groups have great opportunities to spot wild Jaguars.

Most of our tours are rated Easy to Moderate. Trail walks are conducted at an interpretive, gentle pace on relatively flat terrain (1 to 3 hours per excursion). Anyone with average mobility and enthusiasm for nature can comfortably participate. Specialized birding or deep hiking extensions can be customized to your preferred fitness level.

We recommend lightweight, breathable long-sleeved shirts and quick-dry trousers (earth tones), sturdy walking sneakers or hiking shoes, high-SPF biodegradable sunscreen, 30%+ DEET insect repellent, a wide-brim hat, headlamp with red mode, binoculars (8x42 or 10x42), and waterproof dry bags for your camera gear.

The Yellow Fever vaccine is strongly recommended at least 10 days prior to travel. Routine boosters (Tetanus, Hepatitis A) are advised. In pristine national reserve areas like Manu and Tambopata, malaria risk is minimal; however, wearing protective long clothing and applying repellent at dawn and dusk ensures comfortable protection.

All packages include official SERNANP national park admission permits, certified bilingual naturalist guides, private riverboat and overland transfers, eco-lodge accommodations with private bathrooms and mosquito netting, all delicious hot buffet meals prepared by expedition chefs, rubber boots, and satellite safety gear.

We operate under strict Leave No Trace and zero-single-use-plastic protocols. All inorganic waste is transported out of protected reserves, flash photography is restricted around nesting wildlife, silent catamarans are used on oxbow lakes to avoid disturbing giant otters, and solar power drives our eco-lodges.

Our bio-lodges provide private guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds with fine mesh mosquito netting, and screened windows. Electricity is powered by solar arrays with designated charging hubs in the main lounge during morning and evening hours for cameras and phones.
