Hi, My husband and I would like to visit the Rainforest next year. Which is the best season to go when it's not so rainy and humid but not too dry when there are fires everywhere?? We live in Hungary (so far away :) ) Can you recommend a shorter and affordable flight? Any information is highly appreciated! Thanks, Zsuzsanna

I'm looking for a tour of rainforest, concentration on wildlife, and vegetation. Love animals, even appreciate the beauty of snakes. A river cruise would be nice too. I'm a senior citizen and have been pampered a bit. No longer able to count on physical strength so can't be a boot camp vacation. Would appreciate info. May take a side trip to Uruguay where I have family.

I heard from an Amazon lodge owner in Manaquiri (SW of Manuas) that travel to the area was not recommended at this time (beginning of November and maybe not until December) due to the smoke from the fires. The owner said the smoke makes breathing difficult and I should not go. I have been trying to get more information on fires and smoke patterns in the area to see what areas are affected and if there was a part of the Amazon I could travel to. I cannot find any information regarding tourists. Any thoughts? I found only this published online in an Asian Pacific Daily (Oct 2/15): The number of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest increased due to severe drought that has been blighting the region, local authority said on Sunday. According to the daily report by the Brazilian Institute for Space Research (INPE), satellites have detected 906 separate fires currently active in the rainforest, accounting for 59.1 percent of all active fires in Brazil. Another 26.5 percent of active fires were found in the agricultural region of Cerrado, which extends across the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goias, Tocantins and Minas Gerais. The state of Amazonas, the heart of the largest rainforest in the world, saw 11,114 forest fires between January and Oct. 3 this year, which represents a 47-percent rise in the number of fires over the same period last year, according to the INPE. Manaus, the capital city of Amazonas, has been reportedly wreathed in smoke, making people who suffered from respiratory diseases to seek medical attention. According to the INPE, weak winds and a lack of rain have prevented the smoke from dispersing. In the state of Para, the second largest Brazilian state after Amazonas, fires have risen by 25 percent year-on-year while they dropped by 6 percent in the small northern state of Roraima. However, the rainy season is set to start in October, hopefully bringing these fires to an end.

What is the package to travel to Amazon forest from India

Good morning ! I am Gero from Amazon Gero Tours , Gero myself at your servisse. I have receive through my e-mail a request about tour prices,if it is cheaper booking in UK or in Manaus . I think it depends on the tour you are looking for the price may change, for exemple a a good lodge no luxury but comfortable enough to be in the jungle may cost R$ 300,00 Reais ( Three Hundred Reais per day per person for a good lodge a private room with no hot shower but a shower and fan it is with a package meals, transport, guidance and activities. For a very simple and rustic lodge it costs for a room very simple R$ 180,00 per person per day

I am planning a trip in the Amazon and was wondering if it is cheaper to book in the UK before I go or in one of the companies offices when I get to Manaus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Charlotte
