Many Vacationers Choose Amazon Adventure Tours

By Katy Parfait


The Amazon basin is a natural world wonder that has captured the attention of individuals of all ages and from all walks of life. It has an unrivaled ecosystem, and each year travelers are surprised at how much they find in this intriguing area of the world. For this reason, Amazon adventure tours are becoming more popular each year among tourists from across the globe.

The Amazonian River is larger than the world's eight largest rivers combined. This means that its mass equals twice the size of the country of India, and its basin reaches eight different countries. It affects the world's air quality, water supply, and changes in weather.

The peace and serenity that are classic characteristics of the basin are appealing to numerous individuals. Tourists can also see an impressive variety of botanical life, breathe oxygen enriched air that will energize them, and hear and see howler monkeys romping through the jungle.

The best time to visit the basin for a conventional tour is between May and June. Some people, however, prefer to canoe through the quiet, flooded forest when it is at its highest between February and April. This tour option is unique to the Amazon. The driest and hottest months to visit the basin are November and September.

When organizing a tour of this type, one can choose from a broad range of options. For instance, an individual can plan a conventional getaway package that includes a three day tour of the basin. A lengthier tour can also be reserved, that does not feature a stay in the resort or hotel. Each option is associated with its own advantages and disadvantages, and for this reason one should consider several packages before finalizing the arrangements.

A riverboat tour is another interesting avenue through which one can experience the Amazon. This venue is unique and pleasant, and provides a great way for visitors to benefit from all the area has to offer. Travelers typically sleep on board, and during the day the riverboat chugs along the route, offering great sightseeing opportunities as the tour progresses. Multiple stopping points are usually part of the route, and excursions of this type typically last 5-10 days.

Tree climbing and sport fishing tours are also popular among those who enjoy Amazonian getaways. They can be booked in the form of a day trip or as a part of a lodge or boat tour. These alternatives are ideal for those who enjoy physical activity and sports.

Over the past ten years, another option that has gained significant attention is hiking tours. A hike through the Amazon is an ideal way to fully enjoy the surroundings that make this region unique. Participants on such tours often get the opportunity to converse with local residents and learn more about their native cultures.

Most people who book Amazon adventure tours take a minimum of seven days for their trip. If someone has more time available, he or she should consider dividing it among different areas of the basin. Reservations can be handled by a travel agent or one can complete this task online. Regardless of the vacationer's goals, no one will regret a visit to this mesmerizing area of the world.
