manaus - gateway to the amazon
Planning tips for the Amazon:
• Climate: The Amazon Basin lies close to the equator, so there is
TEMPERATURES
& SEASONS
not a lot of difference between winter and summer. High
humidity is common in the deep jungle, but is more mild in the
cities and on the river. The average temperature is 80°F. Nights
are cool. Rainy season is Dec.-Jun. (high water), and dry season is
Jul.-Nov. (low water). Travel in both seasons is good, with
different types of wildlife visible at each time.
• Luggage: We recommend durable luggage, especially if you're
going to one of the jungle lodges as some of these can be remote.
A duffel bag is most suitable, but other options may be better
based on your pre- and post-travel plans. We suggest packing
light if possible.
• What to Bring: We highly recommend wearing subdued colors
in the jungle, as bright colors may scare wildlife. Bring long
sleeves and long pants to protect yourself from the sun and
insects. Bring a day pack, a wide brimmed hat, comfortable shoes
or boots, a lightweight raincoat, insect repellent, a small flashlight
and a sense of adventure!
• Immunizations: Yellow Fever immunization may be required for
travel to the Amazon region.
