The name Amazon is said to arise from a war Francisco de Orellana fought with the Tapuyas and other tribes. The women of the tribe fought alongside the men, as was their custom. The Amazon rainforest is a very unique place in the world and if you are going to travel there you can use some tips that will make your experience much better.

First you need to pack for the Amazon. If you are going to five star forest hotel (there are some) you don’t need to be too concerned about that, but if you are going on an adventure-like trip with a backpack or something similar , then you need to think carefully about what are you going to take there. As always in this kind of trip you don’t want to have too much weight to carry.

If you want to really know the region you can hire local boats with a guide, cook and all the staff you need to make whatever expedition you like for many days. You can go deep into the forest with those boats to see and hear all the abundant wildlife. To do this you will probably need a specialized guide. You can find guides like that in specific travel agencies in or outside Brazil, as they can provide you with all the information you need to enjoy your trip like not many people have done.

You can also travel by yourself or in small groups and have a less planned trip. Some people have their lives so planned that this is exactly what they don’t want in their vacations. These are good for people with less money also, as it’s very cheap to travel in the region if you are not going through a travel agency package. Of course its more risky and you need to be prepared for a couple of mistakes that will cost time and maybe some food adaptation problems, usual stuff in an adventurous trip.

Any way you choose to tour the Amazon rainforest you will like and have a very pleasant and astonishing trip. You will take pictures that you will keep for the rest of your life and make all your friends speechless. It’s really an unforgivable and unique place in the world and every person should have the opportunity to experience it.

If you are not convinced yet, there is still one more reason you be aware. Tourism in the Amazon rainforest is one of the ways to preserve its biological and ethnic diversity. What tourism does is to provide the local populations an alternative for making their living honestly. If there are no alternatives the local population has an extremely difficult decision to make, should they start to work in illegal activities or bear the lack of resources to sustain their family.

Big advice! Don’t take ANY seed, plant or animal from the forest. Illegal biological trade in the Amazon rainforest is a big issue and the police are aware of many foreigners that go to the forest to steal things from it. Every week the police arrest a foreigner trying to go out of Brazil with something illegal, better to avoid this. Take pictures instead.

You need to take a “Yellow Fever” shot at least 10 days before you go to the Amazon rainforest; it’s a small needle and doesn’t hurt.

The best time to visit: If you really wish to enjoy rains and beautiful lush green sceneries, there is no other period which is better than December to May, especially if you are planning to visit Peru. Most of the people prefer visiting Amazon Rain forest during rains, specifically to enjoy the pleasant climate of the location.
