How about a trip to Brazil Amazonia
A Brief Summary
Jungle and rainforest and a heck of a lot of rivers… including a big one! This is the Amazon and the landscape here is one of countless trees, bird species, insects, other wildlife and an awful lot of water. The Amazon river and its 100’s of tributaries here cover vast %’s of the land in the dry season and a far greater amount in the wet season, when much of the region is simply impassable. If you want to travel from the south of the mighty Amazon to the north, or vice versa and don’t like boats… then you’d better be prepared for a 4,000 mile round trip covering most of south America, as the Amazon river, has not one single bridge! This region is also almost certain to be home to tribes and cultures yet to be studied by, even know to, modern “man”, such is the remoteness of vastness of this region. In the centre of all this you have the city of Manaus, a trading mecca and the place at which every single Amazon adventure begins… and if you’re with the right guides, comes back to! As a city it really isn’t a hugely impressive place in its own right, with little to maintain interest for more than 24-48 hours, but as a setting off point for a real adventure, it’s almost impossible to beat

About the Weather
Northern and north western Brazil’s climate is one of heat and humidity throughout the year, with no month seeing average temperatures below 30°c by day, or 22°c by night. All months see rain, but these rains are relatively light and showery from Jul to Oct during the sunniest time of year when skies are clear for between 6 and 7 hours a day. The rest of the year sees daily downpours, peaking from Jan to Apr in which sunshine is at a premium with barely 3 hours of it a day, humidity is exceptionally high and the torrential rains last for hours at a time. This is the time when the Amazon and its tributaries flood, raising river levels by several meters, covering huge swathes of previously dry land in gigantic new waterways
