Weather

Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from March's cool stretch to August's warmth, with rain a little heavier around March and lighter around September — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In September, expect highs around 32°C with rain on roughly 14 days of the month.

Things to Do

Wildlife-spotting river cruises and jungle lodges deep in the Amazon are the region's main draw.

Local Cuisine

Try juane and Amazonian river fish, specialties of Peru's jungle region.
