Amazon Holidays
south & central america
With 10% of the world's known biodiversity, the Amazon is a dream destination for nature enthusiasts. Home to countless fascinating species including pink river dolphins, sloths, anacondas, caimans and an extraodinary diversity of birdlife, the Amazon's forests and waterways are teeming with life.
Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia all offer comfortable lodges nestled deep within the rainforest, promising the perfect base for an Amazon adventure. In Brazil and Peru, you can also experience the mighty Amazon River from the water, journeying through the jungle as it winds its way to the coast. Amazon lodge stays and cruise holidays include an incredible range of activities. Depending on where you choose to stay, experiences may include guided jungle hikes, wildlife-spotting excursions, piranha fishing and canoe trips along tranquil rivers, offering countless opportunities to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the rainforest.
Trailfinders offers a range of Amazon holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the jungle as part of a longer private tour, immerse yourself in nature at a rustic rainforest lodge, or to float down the river on an Amazon cruise – they are the perfect people to ask.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THE AMAZON RAINFOREST?
Despite this it does have two varying seasons. The wet season runs from December to June (although this varies slightly by country), bringing vitality to the rainforest and high water levels which allow for boat tours through the flooded forest.
July onward is considered the dry season, providing a greater chance of spotting wildlife lazing along the river banks.
Amazon Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Zach Smith
If you’re looking for a trip filled with wisdom and education, the Amazon is the perfect spot. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic to teach guests all about the fascinating wildlife and ecosystems.
Natasha Young
Getting to see such a wide range of biodiversity is an experience you really can’t miss out on. A highlight for me was getting to see giant river otters, caiman, capybaras and monkeys. You should be aware that you are constantly surrounded by wildlife in the Amazon!
Carrie Hawes
The wildlife in the Amazon is incredible, but so are the mosquitos who have the most voracious appetite! As well as DEET and long sleeves, I highly recommend a fabric repellent spray - worked a treat.
