Go To The Amazon Rainforest

A tropical paradise

Trekking through the Amazon rainforest is an experience that words will never come close to describing accurately. For starters, this is the largest rainforest on planet earth and home to 10% of the planet’s species. With thousands of plants, insects, birds and mammals calling this home, every visit is unique. The only real way to understand this jungle is to walk through it on your own two feet (or someone else’s if you can persuade them to give you a piggyback.)

Spanning an enormous 5.5 million square kilometres, the sheer scale and wonder of this natural jungle is staggering. Sadly, the rainforest is being destroyed at alarming rates: wildfires, deforestation and the increasing human demand for resources are taking away this natural beauty. So if this rainforest is on your bucket list, you might want to get a move on before it disappears forever.

What’s the weather like in the rainforest?

The word ‘rainforest’ is a good indicator… but apart from the rain, it’s very humid and warm. November to April sees the most rain, with 80% falling during this period. Whatever time of year you go, you should prepare for all weathers – even if you’re from Manchester and think you’ve seen it all.

When is best to go?

Choose the best climate for what you want to do. The wet season lasts January-June and is 23ºC-30ºC. The dry season sits between 26ºC-40ºC, so whilst hotter, less rain makes exploring on foot easier. But it does also increase the likelihood of seeing a caiman (and its charming dagger-shaped teeth).

How can I help save the Amazon rainforest?

The Amazon rainforest being destroyed by fire and deforestation. If you want to help save it, the WWF has launched an emergency appeal, which you can support, to tackle the fires and save the animals. You can also combat deforestation by reducing your consumption of products such as oil.
