A river expedition that embraces all Amazonian seasons:
Embark on a journey to the Amazon is more than an obvious choice; it is a necessity for those who seek unmatched tourist experiences. The big question is: when is the best time of year to explore this green treasure and live a unique experience?
The answer is surprisingly simple: the Amazon is an amazing destination all year round. The tropical climate provides warmth, with or without rain, making each season unique in its essence. Between the months of April and September, the rains decrease, the rivers reach their maximum level, transforming the forest into a spectacle of flooded forests and river trails that are revealed with the opportunity to be explored in canoes.
Imagine yourself aboard our Amazonia Bliss river expedition, where natural beauty is intertwined with stunning beaches and silent igarapés (creeks). But it’s not just about the stunning scenery; it’s also about connecting with local communities, absorbing authentic Amazonian flavors, and learning about their ways of life. Bird watching provides a unique aerial spectacle, as we venture into the most remote corners of the forest.
With the arrival of the sunnier months, the heat triggers the evaporation of the river waters, revealing beaches and trails that allow hiking in native forests. As the rains return, the Amazon transforms, showing its different faces – one revealed in the low water levels of the rivers, the other camouflaged among the waters during the rainy season.
Both exhibit stunning beauty, incredible biodiversity, and rich and historical culture, providing a diverse setting to please visitors who seek an authentic connection with this natural spectacle.
