When is the best time of year to visit?

Anytime of year is a great time to go.

The Peruvian Amazon has a high water period from December through May which results from both the melting of snow during the Andean summer and from the rainy season in the upper jungle. The low water period begins in June and ends with the rising waters in November. The water levels can change more than 45 feet in some parts of the jungle! At the Amazon Yarapa River Lodge, we have about a 20 foot water level difference that is noted in our pictures.

Average daytime temperatures are 88º F and nightime temperatures are 72º F regardless of the time of year.
