In our many years of giving tours on the Amazon, we have gotten ALL kinds of questions, and we love talking about everything related to the jungle while on our tours.
Sometimes though, a question just has to be answered before you even buy a ticket.
Here below we have put together some of the most frequent and important questions that we get asked. We hope that the answers can give you some comfort and clarity. If you have more questions though, then please don’t hesitate to
Depending on what you’re looking for, there might be different times that are best for you.
Most enjoy visiting the Amazon during the dry season (July – December), when water levels are low and hiking trails are drier and easier to hike.
The rainy season has the benefit of milder weather/temperature (January – June) and there is a better chance of spotting animals. And February tends to have the least amount of mosquitos.

There can be, depending on where you are. Boto and Tapiri lodges are in a region that has more mosquitos than others, although it’s generally not so bad. Our Toucan lodge tours are near the Rio Negro which is a more acidic river and thus has very few mosquitos and even no mosquitos on the river itself.
Dress in comfortable clothes that you can wear during the tours, because you must bear in mind that in several of them are made long walks in the middle of the jungle. We recommend the use of long sleeve shirts and long pants to avoid insect bites. Avoid the use of leggings, as they do not provide as much protection in the jungle. Finally, in terms of clothing, avoid the use of black, since it can attract mosquitoes.
