Best Time to Visit
Iquitos has a tropical climate all year round, with two main seasons: dry and wet. The dry season, from June to November, is ideal for those who prefer less rain and lower water levels in the Amazon, making it easier for hiking and other activities. The wet season, from December to May, offers higher rivers and better boating opportunities.
