We’ve all seen images and footage of this spectacular place splashed across the Discovery Channel and depending on your sense of adventure, the mere thought of visiting is most likely frightening or incredibly inviting. The famous river spans some 7000km with streams and tributaries traversing eight countries and boasting near 2000 varieties of fish species. The rainforest plays home to thousands of plant species, birds and a vast range of mammals. Not to mention some of the wildest looking insects you’re ever likely to see. If you plan to visit this incredible place, be sure to do so with a recommended tour group as the terrain is unforgiving and many dangers lurk both above and below the water line.
Keep in mind when booking a trip here that May to October is the dry season which is relatively cooler than the wet season from November to April. With plenty to see and do here, you’ll need to allow yourself enough time to discover all this magical frontier has to offer.
