  • Day 2: Lake Sandoval inside Tambopata National Reserve + guided rainforest night walk

What is the weather like?

Tropical and warm year-round, averaging 77–90°F (25–32°C). The dry season (May–October) offers lower humidity and more macaw activity at clay licks. The wet season (November–April) brings dramatic skies, lush vegetation, and excellent opportunities for amphibian and bird photography.

Mosquitoes are present in the rainforest, especially at dusk. All bungalows have mosquito nets, and we recommend wearing long sleeves and using repellent with DEET or natural alternatives. The lodges are located in well-maintained forest areas, minimizing exposure.
