Essence of

Manaus - Gateway To The Amazon
Planning tips for the Amazon:
Climate: The Amazon Basin lies close to the equator and there is
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.
