Testimonials
1) your boat drivers are absolutely amazing. The way they maneuver those long awkward boats with people jiggling about in them is astonishing.
2) the food is fabulous. We feel well nourished and amazingly comfortable.
3) the "bed net fairies" are tremendous. The rooms are always clean and wonderful.
4) our guides (Sim'on and Sebastian) were so incredible that I have no words to describe what wonders they created.
In short, cudos to you all. What a wonderful, wonderful experience. Also, we were so happy to see Ruben again and thank you for keeping us up to date on the health of his son.
5) The Pilot! Wow! He's incredible.

Weather & Climate |

Geographically the tropics are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn- the limits of the sun reaching the zenith. In the Amazon, the climate is always hot and humid, with the temperature averaging 27.9˚C during the dry season and 25.8˚C in the rainy season. In the Ecuadorian Amazon basin, precipitation is 3000 mm or more. About half of the precipitation is brought to the basin by eastern trade winds, while the other half is the result of evapotranspiration from the vast forest that covers the basin. The driest months are November, December and January, and the highest precipitation, February, March, April and May. There is a time in the year when the temperature drops down to 17˚C / 62 ˚F in the rainforest about a week, it is known as "cold spell" when the influence of the winds from the Antartica cools down the Amazon basin. |
