The Amazon rainforest is lush and green because of the abundance of rain it receives (12 feet on average per year). Although this part of Peru sees about 200 rainy days a year, the weather does not interfere with activities. Wildlife viewings are virtually the same during both seasons.   There are two seasons in the Amazon: 1. High water (December-May) Temperatures are usually 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime and 60-75 degrees Fahrenheit in the evening. Every river, creek, and lake is navigable and the forest is often flooded, leaving very few areas to walk and hike in the jungle.   2. Low water (June–November) Temperatures are usually 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime and 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit in the evening. More trails and jungle paths are accessible, but smaller rivers and tributaries are not reachable by skiff.
