Top Peruvian Amazon: Jungle and Rainforest Travel Guide Experiences

  • Peru is the source of the mightly Amazon river, and one of its more ecologically diverse portions. 60% of Peru’s landscape belongs to the Amazon, separated into two distinct ecological regions, and home to 5% of the country's human population.
  • You can visit the Peruvian Amazon at any time of year. The high water season in Peru’s Amazon is from December through May. The low water season lasts from June through November. Rain is common throughout the year, but heaviest in December to May.
  • If you choose to go during the rainy (high water) season, your opportunities for shore excursions could be limited, due to flooding and difficulty navigating through muddy paths. Mosquitos also love this time of year, and Peru is a Zika zone, so be very careful when traveling during wet weather. Wear lots of bug spray and wear long sleeves and pants.
  • If you choose to take a Peru river cruise in the dry season (June through November), you will have much more opportunity to disembark and explore the jungle. However, some of the smaller creeks and byways that are navigable during the rainy season are now inaccessible to river boat vessels. So you won’t have as much chance to explore “off the beaten path” (or river as the case may be) if you travel during this time of year.
