What to discover
Choose one area instead of combining several reserves in a few days. Boat outings and walks offer complementary perspectives.
Heritage and traditions
Local peoples have distinct territories and stories. Agree visits with hosts rather than assuming a ceremony will be available.
A suggested stay
Allow several nights and time to reach the departure point. Package lengths can include substantial transfers.
Plan this stop
Confirm travel conditions, water levels, guidance and activity boundaries. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Practical information
When to go
The Amazon can be visited year-round, with heat, humidity and rain in every season. River levels affect boat trips and walks: confirm the programme with your host shortly before departure.
What to book or arrange
Arrange your forest stay, guide and transfers with the host before arrival. Ask which visits are included, who leads them and how the programme adapts to rain and river levels.
Local food to try
Casabe is a thin, often crisp cassava flatbread. Fish cooked in bijao or banana leaves, such as maito, illustrates other uses of forest produce and techniques.
