The driest and hottest months to visit the basin are November and September.

When organizing a tour of this type, one can choose from a broad range of options. For instance, an individual can plan a conventional getaway package that includes a three day tour of the basin.

Trips of this kind generally last 5 to 10 days.

Sport fishing and tree climbing tours are also popular Amazonian vacations. They can be arranged as day trips or as a component of a boat or lodge tour. These options are great for individuals who enjoy sports and physical activity.

Over the past ten years, another option that has gained significant attention is hiking tours. A hike through the Amazon is an ideal way to fully enjoy the surroundings that make this region unique. Participants on such tours often get the opportunity to converse with local residents and learn more about their native cultures.

Most individuals who indulge in Amazon adventure tours take at least a week for their excursion.

Regardless of one's objectives, no one will ever regret of trip to this intriguing part of the world.
