Amazon Adventure Tours Appeal To Many Vacationers

By Katy Parfait


The Amazon basin has captured the attention of people from all walks of life and of all ages. It is a natural world wonder with an unrivaled ecosystem. Every year, vacationers are surprised at everything this mesmerizing part of the world has to offer. This is why Amazon adventure tours are constantly increasing in popularity among tourists from all areas of the world.

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.

Many people find the serenity and quietness that are characteristic features of the basin appealing. Here, a person can also examine the numerous plant species found in the area, see and hear howler monkeys playing, and breathe oxygen enriched air that will likely make him or her feel a burst of energy.

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.

Another intriguing option for those planning to visit the Amazon is a riverboat tour. The latter is interesting and fun way to experience all the area has to offer. One usually sleeps on board, and throughout the day rolls along the river where the surrounding scenery and wildlife can be enjoyed. The riverboat typically makes multiple stops along the way. Trips of this kind generally last 5 to 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.

Hiking tours are one option that has increased in popularity considerably over the past ten years. Hiking through the Amazon is one of the best ways to experience everything that makes this area unique. On such tours, participants often have a chance to stop and speak to local residents and explore their native culture.

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.
