The Amazon can be visited all year round, but there are generally two main seasons: the dry season (June to November) and the rainy season (December to May). The dry season is ideal for hiking and land activities, while the rainy season allows you to navigate rivers, as they are at their peak and thus, see the vegetation at its best.
