Frequently Asking Question
In our many years of giving tours on the Amazon, we have gotten ALL kinds of questions, and we love talking about everything related to the jungle while on our tours.
Sometimes though, a question just has to be answered before you even buy a ticket.
Here below we have put together some of the most frequent and important questions that we get asked. We hope that the answers can give you some comfort and clarity. If you have more questions though, then please don’t hesitate to contact.
Depending on what you’re looking for, there might be different times that are best for you.
Most enjoy visiting the Amazon during the dry season (July – December), when water levels are low and hiking trails are drier and easier to hike.
The rainy season has the benefit of milder weather/temperature (January – June) and there is a better chance of spotting animals. And February tends to have the least amount of mosquitos.
There can be, depending on where you are but it is recommendable to bring mosquitos repellent.
Your safety is our priority. You can safely go for hikes or swimming, we’ve never had any accidents with any of our guests.
No, there is no malaria in the areas where we travel. Malaria might be found in logging or gold mining areas, but we are far from these areas. If you’d like to take a preventative medication, then you could consult with your doctor about malarone or doxycycline as these tend to have fewer side effects than other antimalarial drugs. Always consult your doctor to make the best decision possible for you, but do be careful with the side-effects because they can be quite severe with some of the antimalarial medications.
There is no risk of dengue or yellow fever in the areas where we take our guests. Most travelers do have a yellow fever vaccine, but this is not mandatory.
Although no specific vaccinations are required to enter Brazil, it’s wise to check with your local health authorities for what vaccines they might recommend for your trip.
