Travel with us through the Amazon rainforest.

Step by step

Why choose an organized tour to explore the Amazon?

The best time to experience the Amazon — or — When to go to the Amazon: rain, high water, or dry season?

How do you choose the right agency to explore the Amazon?

Exploring the Amazon is an unforgettable experience, but given the complexity of the rainforest and the vast distances involved, relying on a specialized agency makes all the difference. Experienced guides, comprehensive logistics, and access to protected areas ensure a safer, smoother, and more authentic journey. Furthermore, responsible tourism contributes directly to forest conservation and the strengthening of local communities. At Peixe Boi Turismo Amazônia, every itinerary is carefully planned to provide a fully immersive experience—combining safety and comfort with respect for nature. Discover our packages and experience the Amazon in a unique way, with the peace of mind that comes from traveling with a team that is experienced and passionate about the rainforest.

Although the Amazon can be visited year-round, the rainfall patterns significantly shape the experience. From January to May, rainfall is higher, the forest is lush, and wildlife is more active, all accompanied by pleasant temperatures. Between May and August, river levels peak, creating the flooded forest—or igapó—which is ideal for canoe trips among the trees. Conversely, from September to December, water levels drop to reveal white-sand beaches, making it easier to spot animals, especially caimans. Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on the type of experience you are looking for.

At Peixe Boi Turismo, our team brings together nearly 40 years of experience in the Amazon, gained while working with various regional tour operators. We leverage this firsthand knowledge to create safe, authentic, and responsible travel experiences. Avoid generic offers. Before founding Peixe Boi Turismo Amazônia, our team built decades of regional expertise—starting with other operators and now channeling that know-how into signature itineraries that celebrate the nature, safety, and authenticity of the Amazon.
