Things to See in Amazon Region

  • The Shaman Experience

    The native Riberenos (river people) often seek the help of a shaman for healing purposes. While venturing into the Amazon Region, it is possible to visit a traditional shaman and perhaps even witness a blessing ceremony.

  • Fishing

    With the bountiful Amazon River, this region is known for its exotic fishing. We say exotic because it is not uncommon for those who are with a guide and understand the process, to actually hook into a local piranha.

  • Iquitos

    This is a metropolitan city in the Amazon Basin that cannot be reached by road. A truly eclectic mix, you will see primitive huts and modern buildings side by side here. The city has plenty of restaurants and an actual floating market.

When to Visit Amazon Region

  • Winter

    Peru's Amazon Region does not have distinct winter months due to its proximity to the equator. However, from June to September, the region experiences a drier season with fewer rain showers. The weather is warm and comfortable, making it an ideal time for jungle excursions, wildlife spotting, and exploring the diverse flora and fauna of the rainforest.

  • Spring

    Spring in the Amazon Region, from October to November, brings slightly warmer temperatures and occasional showers. The rainforest comes alive with lush greenery and vibrant wildlife, making it an excellent time for birdwatching and experiencing the region's incredible biodiversity.

  • Summer

    The wet season in the Amazon Region takes place from December to May. During this period, the region experiences heavy rainfall, which can cause rivers to rise and create flooded areas. Despite the rain, the wet season offers unique opportunities for canoeing and exploring flooded forests, where visitors can witness unique wildlife and aquatic species.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
