Arrival and departure times may also change due to changes made to the recommended flights by the airline.

Important note about seasons:

LOW WATER SEASON June to November. At this time the climate is drier and the low water levels attract creatures that can hardly be seen in the rainy season. The water level of the rivers falls during this period, exposing surprising sandy beaches. An ideal time to stroll through the forest and discover the Amazonian flora and fauna. Ideal for travelers who want to discover the Amazon’s flora and fauna by walking through the rainforest.

HIGH WATER SEASON December to May. This time of year is marked by rains and storms. It is in these months when most plants bloom or bear fruit, creating a unique show. Birds and primates are attracted by this spectacle and can be seen on the banks of the river. Ideal for travelers who prefer exploring the Amazon and its tributaries by boat rather than walking.
