Amazon Jungle Tours

This Amazon tour needs a level of physical fitness. Unlike any other traditional vacations, such as hiking in high heat and humidity, Amazon jungle tours needs you to physically healthy to meet the challenges. Many people use their departure date as a target for getting into shape – excellent idea. We especially recommend conditioning of the legs, lungs and heart. You'll only be taking day hikes and canoe trips at the jungle lodge, but exploring in the Amazon heat is more strenuous for anyone that is unaccustomed to this type of activity. You certainly do not have to be an athlete, but you do want to be in good health and condition in order to get the most from your trip.

The Ecuadorian Amazon gives you a rainy, humid and warm environment. The rain becomes more frequent in March and continues through July. August thru early December is more of a “fluctuation season,” meaning that it can rain one minute and be sunny the next. This fluctuation makes it hard to classify this time of year as part of the rainy or less-rainy season. January is the start of the least rainy period, a period that continues on until March. Keep in mind that downpours and cool rainstorms can appear unexpectedly anytime of the year, so be prepared for your Amazon tour!
