WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THE AMAZON RAINFOREST?
True to its name, the Amazon Rainforest is generally hot, humid and wet!
Despite this it does have two varying seasons. The wet season runs from December to June (although this varies slightly by country), bringing vitality to the rainforest and high water levels which allow for boat tours through the flooded forest.
July onward is considered the dry season, providing a greater chance of spotting wildlife lazing along the river banks.
