Wildlife excursions often differ depending on the time of the year. During the high water season, river ships sail closer to the canopies, making it easier to spot birds and other species which live in the trees. On the other hand, the low water season allows better access to jungle trails, making it possible to discover wildlife in the undergrowth.
Low-water months are also an ideal time for fishing as aquatic populations are confined to a few key areas. It’s far easier to land a piranha during this time. For birdwatchers, dozens of species of migratory birds are in flight during this time as well.
In contrast, the high-water season concentrates the population of land animals and amphibians, making it easier to spot turtles and caimans.
All things considered, most species can be seen throughout the year – the only difference is in the manner they’re seen, from the ground of the lush forest or aboard a skiff.
