The Amazon changes its face every few months. Whether you want to paddle through flooded treetops or walk deep jungle trails, there is a perfect time for you.

- Excellent caiman and bird spotting
- Amazonian beaches emerge

Pink Dolphin Spotting
Unlike other wildlife, Pink Dolphins are present year-round. However, the experience changes: In High Water, you can see them between the trees! In Low Water, they gather in the main river channels.
Weather FAQ
When is the best time to see Pink Dolphins?
Pink Dolphins can be seen year-round in the Amazon River and lakes like Tarapoto. However, during High Water (March-June), they often swim deep into the flooded forests.
Does it rain every day in the Amazon?
It is a rainforest, so rain is possible any day. However, during the 'Dry' season (July-Sept), showers are usually short and heavy, followed by bright sunshine.
Is it too hot in Leticia?
Temperatures are consistent (25°C to 30°C). The humidity is what makes it feel hotter, but at Îkü Reserve, our bioclimatic cabins are designed for natural airflow.
