Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the weather like in the Amazon?
You should be prepared for periods of intense heat when the sun is out, and intermittent, torrential rain when storms pass through. Summer (May-October) also brings periodical ‘friajes,’ which are cold snaps resulting from a front moving north from Patagonia along the Andes Mountains. Temperatures during friajes can drop below 10°C (into the 40s Fahrenheit), so you should be prepared with a change of warm clothing.
What clothing and gear should I bring?
We will provide all of the gear and equipment that will be used for our field activities (e.g., collecting equipment, tree-climbing gear, etc.). Towels, bedding, and mosquito bed nets are also provided. Everything else is your responsibility. Please see our recommended packing list for a complete list of what to bring with you to Peru.
Do I need a visa to enter Peru?
Citizens of the United States do not need to apply for a visa to enter Peru for stays of 90 days or less. Rather, a visa will be granted at the international airport in Lima upon entering the country. Requirements for citizens of other countries vary, and we recommend that you check these with the website of your country’s embassy in Peru.
