Flooded Season runs from December through April. It is cooler and wet season, but don't forget that we get only a little more than half of total rainfall during the flooded season, and it is warm weather in the Amazon all throughout the year. During the flooded season the average temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees cooler than in the dry season. Much of the increase in water levels during the wet season is the result of rain in the Andean highlands running off into the affluent of the Amazon River, rather than a large increase in rainfall in the Amazon region. 

Advantages of traveling at high-water season:

The rivers and streams can get 10 meters higher, letting us to navigate through every river, creek and lake, getting to explore more of the waterways of the vast world of water in this region, and you will have access to plant life and wildlife areas that you might miss during the dry season.

Also, those extra 10 meters put travelers much closer to the jungle canopy, where monkeys play and beautiful birds like to roost. In fact, visitors are very likely to see many more mammals, monkeys and other species during the flooded season. During the high-water season grow many plants fruits and flowers, making observation of birds and monkeys along the rivers edge a bit easier as they feast upon the abundance of tropical fruits and blooms.

Disadvantages of traveling at high-water season:

Areas to walk and hike are limited at this time, there will be more mosquitoes than in the dry season when hiking trails are found. Fishing is more limited during these months too, but we still have close to a 50% chance to get out the rod and reel and make a catch.
