After a hearty meal, jump back on the boat so you can reach a new area to set up another campsite. There’s a good reason for this: fishing lessons to catch Amazonian fish, especially the enigmatic piranha. Safety practices and other instructions will be provided by the best experts on the rainforest.

After setting up camp on the first day, everyone will receive hammocks and mosquito nets. Additionally, a canopy will be set up to protect you from the rain. One of our tour guides will be wide awake during the night to watch for animals and guarantee the group’s safety.

Meals are simple but made with fresh ingredients, including chicken and fish caught on the same day. How cool is that? If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, your host can accommodate your food preferences as well.

When is the best time to visit the Amazon Rainforest?

Although the Amazon is considered a year-round destination, the period from January to September offers the best climate conditions because it avoids the peak of Dry Season at the same time that there are good hiking trail options and enough water for aquatic activities.

Speaking of those, the Wet Season (December to May) is great for people who want to enjoy the Amazonian rivers by kayaking, canoeing, swimming and exploring the flooded forest. Rainstorms are common, but they don’t last too long.

The Dry Season (June to November) is popular because it usually allows both water and land-based activities. However, it’s important to notice that extended droughts are becoming more frequent, especially from October to December. This causes low water levels and limited access to a few areas and itineraries, but things tend to get better by January.
