Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the best month to go to the Amazon Rainforest?
A:The Amazon Rainforest is warm, rainy, and humid year-round. For less rainfall and fewer mosquitos, go during the dry season, from late June to September or October, depending on which country (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, or Bolivia) you visit. July tends to be a busy month because it’s a school holiday for Brazilians, while August is typically quieter.
Q:How long should you stay in the Amazon Rainforest?
A:You need at least three days, but you should plan to stay a week to 10 days to explore the Amazon rainforest properly. This will give you enough time to visit several different areas and do a wider variety of experiences. Typically, Amazon rainforest tickets for cruises are three to seven nights.
Q:Can you sleep in the Amazon Rainforest?
A:Yes. A range of accommodations—from huts to treehouses—is available in the Amazon forest. They are typically integrated into the surroundings and respect the animals' natural habitat to minimize the environmental impact. With help from a guide, you can also set up a campsite with hammocks and mosquito nets.
Q:Can you drive through the Amazon Rainforest?
A:Yes, at your own risk. The BR-319 connects Porto Velho to Manaus in northern Brazil. It is unpaved, has rickety wooden bridges, and can become impassable during the rainy season due to mud. There are plans to upgrade the road, but some local communities are against it as it could lead to more forest loss. The Trans-Amazonian Highway also runs through the rainforest, but most remains unpaved.
Q:Can you just walk into the Amazon Rainforest?
A:Yes, but it’s not advisable. It can be challenging and dangerous to walk into the Amazon rainforest without the help of a guide. During guided hikes, you can learn about the jungle’s medicinal plants and wildlife; plus, you won’t get lost. Also, some travelers explore the South American rainforest via boat rather than hiking.
Q:How long would it take to walk the Amazon Rainforest?
A:Ed Stafford was the first person to walk the length of the Amazon River. It took him two years, four months, and eight days (860 days in total) to complete the journey. Stafford wrote a book called Walking the Amazon that recounts his adventure, including being pursued by machete-wielding indigenous peoples.
