November through May, corresponds to summer and autumn in the southern hemisphere.
This is our relatively cooler and wetter season in the Amazon region, as it receives more than half (60%) of its total annual rainfall. During the rainy season, the average temperature is 86 ° F (30 ° C). Visiting the Amazon River in Peru at this time of the year, allows passengers to admire the fantastic views of the high tide. Rivers and streams of the Amazon Basin rise about 23 feet (7 meters). Apart from the impressive visual effect this produces, the rise of river waters also means that every river, stream and lake becomes navigable.
With this, the flooded waterways take us to deeper places in the Amazon rainforest. Although the odds of wildlife sightings change significantly between the two seasons, it is likely to see more of some of the favorites from the Amazonian wildlife, such as monkeys, turtles and alligators, at this time of the year.

June through October. Corresponds to winter in the southern hemisphere.
This is the hottest season in the Amazon River, with an average temperature of about 98 ° F (37 ° C). Despite its name, “dry season”, the heavy rains continue. A key difference between visiting Peru in the low water season versus the high water season is that in the first, one can access by foot the jungle trails flooded from December to May, which allow our small groups to explore the deeper jungle in a different way.
Our guests also tend to spot an increased abundance of migratory birds in flight during the low water (dry) season. Water levels at this time of the year facilitate access to good fishing.

If travelers do not accept this option, Jungle Expriences would cancel the trip with a refund of the unused nightly price on the cruise or alternatively offer an onboard cruise for future trips.
