Amazon Adventure Tours Are A Great Vacation Option

By Katy Parfait


Individuals of all ages, regardless of their lifestyle are intrigued by the natural world wonder of the Amazon basin. It has an ecosystem with which few areas of the world can compete, and each year visitors are surprised at the diversity of this spectacular part of the world. This has led to the increasing popularity of Amazon adventure tours among travelers from around 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.

Late spring and early summer are the best times to travel to the area if one is interested in a traditional tour. However, certain visitors would rather experience the river when the forest has flooded, which is typically between February and April. Canoeing through the quiet, submerged forest is an experience unique to the Amazonian basin.

There is a wide selection of options from which to choose when planning such a tour. For instance, an individual can book a traditional giveaway that includes a 3-day tour as part of the arrangements. A longer excursion can also be booked, which does not feature a stay in any type of modern lodging. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages, and for this reason visitors should give thought to all their options prior to making a final decision.

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.

Tours that involve sportfishing and tree climbing are also quite popular among those interested in Amazonian getaways. They can be arranged as a one-day outing, or they may be part of a boat or lodge tour. Anyone who enjoys physical activity or sports will find that this is a great option.

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 embark upon Amazon adventure tours dedicate a minimum of seven days for their trip. Visitors who have more time are wise to consider dividing their vacation among different regions of the basin. Such arrangements can be made online or through a local travel agent. Regardless of each traveler's individual objectives, a trip to this spectacular part of the world will be an unforgettable event.
