Jungle FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the Amazon

Everything you need to know before stepping into the rainforest.

What is the best time of year to visit the Peruvian Amazon?

The Amazon is a year-round destination with two distinct seasons: the Dry Season (May to October) offers easier walking trails, fewer mosquitoes, and prime macaw clay lick activity; the Green/Wet Season (November to April) brings higher river levels, allowing deeper navigation into flooded tributary forests where aquatic wildlife is abundant.

Are there electricity and Wi-Fi at the eco-lodges?

Most eco-lodges operate on generator or solar power scheduled during key morning and evening hours. Wi-Fi is generally available in the common lounge, allowing you to disconnect peacefully and enjoy nature.

Is the Amazon tour safe for families and children?

Yes! Our selected lodges in Puerto Maldonado and Tambopata feature family bungalows, safe elevated boardwalks, and gentle boat safaris suitable for curious young explorers aged 5 and up.
