Where Is the Amazon Rainforest?
In order to go to attend one of these retreats, you should know where is the Amazon Rainforest.
You might ask “Plese name three countries of the Amazon Rainforest”. I could name all of the 9 South American countries in which the Amazon Rainforest is.
These countries together form the rich tapestry of the Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the lungs of our planet, and each contributes to the global importance of preserving this unique and vital ecological zone.
- Brazil is home to around 60% of the Amazon rainforest;
- Northern Peru is holding about 13% of the rainforest, making it the second-largest portion of the Amazon;
- With roughly 10% of the Amazon, Colombia‘s share includes the unique Amazonian region near the Andes;
- Approximately 6% of the Amazon rainforest is located in Venezuela;
- Ecuador is home to around 2% of the Amazon;
- Bolivia is also with about 6% of the Amazon;
- Guyana & Suriname hold each around 3% of the Amazon within their borders;
- An overseas region of France, French Guiana holds around 1% of the Amazon.
Best Place to Visit in the Amazon Rainforest
Don’t worry, you are allowed to go to the Amazon Rainforest. But, as I often say, it’s crucial to go with an open mind. This mindset will enable you to deeply connect with both the local people and the environment energy itself.
Given that the Amazon Rainforest is accessible from nine different countries, here are the main gates points for visiting it. For each, I’ll highlight the finest spiritual retreats available, simplifying the search and eliminating the need to look elsewhere.
#1. Manaus, Brazil
Although the city of Manaus is the primary touristic gateway to the Brazilian Amazon, I found that Acre offers a more peaceful and spiritually experience for those seeking a deeper connection with the Rainforest.
Embark on a life-changing 12-day journey to the Brazilian Amazon to experience the ancestral power of the rainforest and the Yawanawa people’s culture.
Immerse yourself in their unique way of life, which includes hunting, dancing, celebrating, and healing as a community, and connect with nature through traditional games, music, dances, body painting, and ceremonies involving plant and clay baths.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to live in harmony with the land and learn the meaning of kinship with both people and nature.
#2. El Coca, Ecuador
As per Manus in Brazil, El Coca serves a similar role for Ecuador.
Far removed from the usual tourist destinations, APL Shamanic Journeys offers a unique retreat in the Ecuadorian Amazon, blending traditional Amazonian shamanic practices with modern integration techniques for an immersive experience in plant medicine, targeting personal growth and spiritual exploration.
#3. Puerto Maldonado & Iquitos, Peru
These two locations serve as the primary entry points for tourists to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.
Therefore here I add a more private and peaceful spiritual retreats that you could consider take part in.
#4. Leticia, Colombia
This is where I personally went long time ago before finishing my spiritual journey in Colombia and had my very first experience into this magical forest.
Unfortunately, retreat options are scarce in this area, hopefully if one day a retreat is established, I will have the opportunity to include it here!
#5. Rurrenabaque, Bolivia
Neither in Bolivia I found relatable spiritual retreats that resonated with me.
But, so you know, Rurrenabaque is the main touristic gateway for tourists visiting Bolivia’s Rainforest.
#6. Venezuela
Once considered the most beautiful place in the world… sadly is now rarely accessible due to the country’s current political and social unrest.
I truly hope the situation will change soon, as losing such a precious gem of nature would be a shame.
#7. Guyana & Suriname
A similar story goes for these two countries, where I couldn’t find any spiritual retreats that aligned with my values and intentions.
However, both are still worth mentioning as they provide unique and unspoiled access to the Amazon Rainforest.
So where should you visit? The best option remains within you. 🙂
Which Vaccines Are Needed for a Trip to the Amazon?
Before embarking on a journey to the Amazon Rainforest, it’s important to research and understand which vaccines are recommended or required for entry into the country you will be visiting.
Yellow fever is a common vaccine requirement for travel to most countries in the Amazon region. Other commonly recommended vaccines include typhoid, hepatitis A and B, and rabies.
Taking precautions against mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever is also recommended.
But I advise you to consult with your doctor or a travel clinic for the most up-to-date information on vaccines and health precautions for traveling to the Amazon.
Packing Items for a Trip To The Amazon?
Packing for an Amazon Rainforest trip is all about being prepared for its unique environment. The key is to pack light, but also ensure you have everything needed to stay comfortable, safe, and healthy.
Here are some essentials:
- Lightweight Long-Sleeved Shirts & Pants: Opt for breathable fabrics to protect against sun and insects. Wearing white or light-colored clothes can help repel some bugs and keep you cooler under the intense sun.
- Rain Gear: A high-quality, lightweight rain jacket or poncho is a must-have, as sudden rain showers are common.
- Footwear: Waterproof hiking boots are essential for treks through the rainforest. Consider bringing a pair of water shoes for wet landings and a pair of flip-flops for leisure time.
- Hat & Sunglasses: Protect your face and eyes from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protection sunglasses.
- Insect Repellent: A high-DEET insect repellent is crucial to protect against mosquito and bug bites.
- Sunscreen: A high-SPF, waterproof sunscreen will help protect your skin from the strong equatorial sun.
- Filtered Reusable Bottled Water: Stay hydrated while reducing plastic waste. Water purification tablets or a personal water filter can be very handy.
- Day Pack: A comfortable, lightweight day pack is useful for carrying essentials during excursions.
- Power Bank: Don’t forget your camera to capture the diverse wildlife and landscapes. Consider a portable charger since in the forest you won’t have electricity.
My Personal Experience On How to Visit the Amazon Rainforest
Solitude has transitioned from something I feared and avoided to something my soul needed and craved. In solitude, you will meet all the parts of you: light, dark, happiness, and sadness.
You become your biggest triggers and you don’t have anyone around to blame except yourself. Those emotions will sit next to you and remind you of the things forgotten.
This was the time for me to face myself. I went to the Amazon to immerse myself in deep jungle solitude. For now, all I can say is that the jungle was for sure going to have a special place in my heart, too.
I embarked on a personal jungle tour, a practically private expedition that immersed me day by day in the heart of this untamed terrain.
I journeyed from one tribe to another, relishing new encounters and being guided by locals. Each day brought something new, unearthing unfamiliar customs and traditions far removed from my own.
In these moments, I felt an extraordinary sense of being alone, accompanied only by the unspoiled wilderness, and disconnected from my usual reality of civilization and technology.
These few days of seclusion offered the perfect excuse to be truly present in the moment and disconnect from the reality of home.
The tour I booked picked me up at the airport, driving me to the first stop of the day. On the way, they explained to me how my tour was planned. Because I was still caught up in my own head, I didn’t pay attention to what they said.
Oh, Giorgy, what’s wrong with you?
Once there, my adventure started and I met my first guide of the day, who guided me. I knew I was about to start a new chapter. A chapter full of dreams, challenges, and incredible experiences!
And that’s what I did: start a new life in this amazing city. Colombia held so many surprises for me, both good and bad ones, but it truly made me appreciate life much more.
After all the magical moments through the jungle until we reached his tribute (original group of people) outside of Letitia Rainforest. On the way, he taught me a lot of stuff about the forest itself: especially that everything the forest offers can be used as natural medicine for healing wounds.
Rainforests are vital for the survival of life on Earth – the Amazon rainforest alone provides 20% of the oxygen we breathe and the freshwater we drink.
Rainforests absorb our carbon dioxide, stabilize climate patterns, and are home to half of the world’s plant and animal species.
In addition, a rainforest is a holy place. You need permission to enter and exit it. So I did it, I hit the trunk of a tree, making a noise that let everyone know I was coming in.
Once I arrived, I left my stuff in the main cabin, and then the tribute made me make a bracelet of painted fruit kernels.
On my face, they painted the animal they think represented me: a mix of dragonfly and a frog (Future’s Giorgy Note: write down everything. Every time I said to myself “I would remember it anyway” then I completely forget it).
They even showed me around the beautiful place they live in. Even though the Amazon is home to dangerous species (piranhas, anacondas, and so on), people still bathe in the river, and I did it too: swinging and jumping off a branch.
I came out of it alive with a little frog on my arm (Did my guide animal happen to be the one welcoming me?).
It was an overwhelming afternoon. I was laughing and enjoying it so much that the guys brought me to a secret place they had just built: a swing. The more the guy pushed my swing up, the more I was feeling myself merging into nature.
And I couldn’t help but smile and laugh out loud!
At night, I met the “Abuelo” aka the grandfather who was the boss of the tribute. That night, everything the guide had explained to me on the way to the tribute started making sense.
They explained to me the names of the plants, and how and when to use them.
I decided that I wanted to fully enjoy this experience by letting myself be carried away by their rituals and customs as well, deciding not to ask too many questions but to go with the flow, even during one ritual they showed me how to consume them by thus going to rest on my tongue and savoring the taste.
The Abuelo also explained to me the history of the tobacco and cocaine that they produced there.
Afterward, I made a night tour of the rainforest. I got lost in it; it was more of a spiritual trip. In fact, after I refused to try an ant that the guide insisted on me trying, he asked me to close my eyes and follow him.
He brought me to a place filled with rocks, but once I opened up my eyes, I couldn’t see it.
“I know you cannot see the rocks shining. Something is holding you back from being the real you. Now I am going to take you to another place, and please tell me if you see more light in the next place.”
Without further ado, I closed my eyes and let myself be transported to the other place.
“Take a deep breath, let it all out, then open your eyes.” I did it, and I could see the rocks shining a little bit.
“Better! It’s now time to go to the next and last stop. Now that we are going there, please repeat in your mind what’s bothering you like a CD on a loop.” I closed my eyes again and did what he asked me to do as he grabbed my hand and walked me to the last spot.
We stopped, and before I could open my eyes, he said, “Now, before you open your eyes, say out loud what you just keep repeating in your mind!” I left his hand and put it on my heart, which was beating very fast;
“I took a risk by leaving the comforts of home that I knew for the 24 years prior, and set off in search of adventure. Little did I know I would find a lot more than adventure, I would find myself! I know today I’ve learned something that can never be unlearned: self-love. A lifelong process… a journey-better still, a rollercoaster, one that knows no end. I have more and more awareness that I dare to piece myself back together again by falling in love with myself. It’s going to be one of the best decisions I ever make in life.”
Opening my eyes, I saw the rocks glowing while tears were streaming down my face.
The next day, I found myself hanging like a monkey on the giant Amazon trees! On the way back to the meeting point, I said goodbye to the rainforest before leaving for the next adventure.
The guide had made me a homemade wooden dream catcher. (Editor’s Note: Awwweeee, too bad G lost her brain, forgetting the dream catcher somewhere on her adventure-sob).
The further the driver got from the meeting point, the more and more remote it became, which was apparent by all of the children running around without shoes on at the hut-like schools and houses. My canopy was about to start, but first I had to walk twenty minutes into the Amazon Rainforest.
My guides hooked us up with the appropriate gear, and I began my climb 35- 40 meters (114-131 feet) into the canopy of the rainforest. I zip-lined from tree to tree with the jungle underneath me and tiny monkeys curiously watching on.
From up there, I could see the whole rainforest… stunning! It seemed like an endless sea of trees! After about an hour and a half, I descended back to the jungle floor, and it was time to visit another tribute.
Halfway there, we had to stop at a hut because it was raining cats and dogs. Because it was full of hammocks, I put myself in and took a power nap. The guide eventually woke me up once it stopped, but I kept sleeping once we reached the tribute village.
Honestly, it was more modern with more technology, and I was still thinking of the strange and powerful tour I had experienced the other night.
After dinner, the whole village was playing football (kids and adults) while the women were doing cheerleading. It was such a beautiful scene to see; they put a smile on my face which had vanished for a while.
In the tribute, I saw different people covered in black as if someone had painted them, and because I’m a curious kid, I asked more about it.
It came from the juice of a fruit and turns your skin color black. There are 3 meanings:
- People use it as a repellent against mosquitoes (apparently it works, and I should have covered my whole body with it);
- People use it to dye their hair (usually black hair), and it lasts forever;
- Whenever a girl has her first period, the whole tribute celebrates it and will cover the girl all with this fruit juice in order to protect her from every evil thing in the future! This is really symbolic.
Since I was about to sleep in the Amazon Rainforest, just me, myself and I in the hammock, my guide suggested that it might be smart to cover some part of my body too to protect from bad spirits. I trusted and understood their culture.
Therefore, he proceeded to paint my entire right hand and a section of my left arm.
Once I was dried, we made our way to the hammock place. I have to admit that sleeping in the middle of the jungle with a bunch of mon- keys making a lot of noises while a puma, apparently, passed by and being eaten alive by mosquitoes was an experience I will never forget!
We woke up before sunrise and made our way to the port of Letitia by boat. I loved sitting in the boat and enjoying the peaceful boat ride in the beautiful nature of the Amazon Rainforest, home of pink dolphins, crocodiles, and piranhas, while the sun came up.
Today was an insane day. With another group of people, we spent the whole morning on the Brazilian, Peruvian, and Colombian parts of the Amazon.
From the incredible food to the friendly people, amazing landscape, and beautiful culture, visiting the Amazon truly was a surreal experience.
I was in awe the entire trip, observing the native people on their floating houses while they washed their clothes in the river, little children swimming and playing soccer near the water’s edge, watching the fishermen in their small handcrafted wooden boats return from a day of fishing with their daily catch.
We then stopped for lunch at a little restaurant somewhere in the Amazon that overlooked the Amazon River. It was more of a garage that sold lunch out of a cooler, but it was an authentic experience with an unbeatable view.
In the “backyard” was a nap area where people could rest in a hammock: perfect spot after lunch, right?
We headed back across the river to Colombia, stopping at Isla de Los Micos (Monkey Island), where we ended up being surrounded by monkeys, some of them even crawling all over us!
This was not a zoo or pet monkeys; these were wild monkeys that have taken over the island and love to snuggle up to tourists. A few of them even fall asleep on some of our arms!
Then, it was already time to make it back to the port: it was a pretty spectacular viewing. Being on the Amazon River, sun shining, and surrounded just by green all around you… Amazing!
Once back at the hostel, I took a shower and lay down in my bed, taking a power nap until my roommate woke me up. The canopy’s guide picked me up, and I had forgotten to ask him to agree to a night out in order to experience the real Caipirinha in town.
Since Leticia is right on the border of Brazil, we grabbed a Tuk-tuk to take us over the border, stopping off at a local hotspot for a signature Brazilian drink called the Caipirinha e Michelada.
Because they had 4 types of different Caipirinha, of course, we drank all of them, ending up a little bit tipsy and dancing in an open club nearby. We were laughing, smiling at all of the people around us, and making new friendships.
But then I found myself running back to the hostel because they would have closed the doors at midnight, leaving me out- side for the night. Not to mention, I was totally in Brazil illegally, but no one noticed it: I looked like a local!
Hey! Henry here typing…
With the beautiful sky along with the beautiful moon. We spent a beautiful night together full of laughs and a lot of jokes. That night was special! I hope one day we are going to see each other again for a Caipirinha! I send you a big hug, beauty
Con la hermosa luna y el cielo estuvo bonito. Lo pasamos richisimo reyindo mucho y muchas bromas tambien. Esa noche fue especial! Espero algun dia de volvemos a ver de nuevo por una otra Caipirinha! Te mando un gran abrazo hermosa!
If it was fun yesterday night, it wasn’t anymore this morning when I had a thumping hangover and my legs were on fire due to all the mosquitoes bites (damn, Giorgy, why did you forget the repellent in Bogota?) and my head was still processing the whole jungle experience.
The staff from the tour invited me for breakfast. Once we polished breakfast off and washed it down with Colombian hot chocolate, they drove me back to the airport to get ready for my flight back to Bogota.
Sometimes people randomly call me Giorgina… not sure why. But the Colombian who I spoke to wrote down my name as “Giorgina” instead of “Giorgia.” They also almost put that name on my boarding pass!
After sorting that out, it was time to take off: I still had so much to process about my whole experience and deep jungle solitude.
For instance, I kept hearing all the whispers of the jungle spirits calling to my soul that it was time to find my way back home. I put on my favorite song, “Calma,” and slept the whole flight.
In the end, she became more than what she expected.
She became the journey, and like all journeys, she didn’t end, she just simply changed directions and kept going.r.m.Drake – The Minds Journal
FAQs Amazing Amazon Rainforest Facts
Best Time to Visit the Amazon Rainforest?
The best time to visit the Amazon Rainforest largely depends on what you’re looking to experience, as the region offers distinctly different conditions during the high-water season and low-water season.
During the high-water season, roughly from April to August, the Amazon experiences its highest rainfall, significantly transforming the landscape.
This dry season allows for boat trips expeditions deep into the flooded forests, offering unique opportunities to see a wider range of wildlife and flora from a different perspective. The rainforest is lush, and the water level is at their peak, creating an incredible scene for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
On the other hand, the low-water season, from September to March, provides easier access to hiking trails and land-based activities.
The decreased water levels reveal sandy river beaches and allow for more extensive exploration of the forest floor. Fishing is particularly good during this time, and there’s also a higher best chance of spotting terrestrial wildlife.
Annually, the Amazon Rainforest receives astonishing amounts of rainfall, with some areas getting over 2,300 mm (about 90 inches) per year. This constant influx of rain feeds the diverse ecosystems and maintains the lush, green appearance that the Amazon is famous for.

The Amazon Rainforest is undeniably crucial to humans.
Do you see humans walking around without legs? No… right? Same, envisioning our planet without the Amazon is like picturing ourselves trying to thrive without our lungs.
This vast green expanse acts as the Earth’s lungs, playing a pivotal role in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen which we all rely on to breathe.
Beyond this, the Amazon is a treasure trove of biodiversity, housing millions of species of plants and wildlife, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. This biodiversity is not just fascinating; it’s a critical component of the global ecosystem that influences weather patterns and fights climate change.
Furthermore, the Amazon’s waterways and vegetation are essential in regulating the world’s oxygen and freshwater cycles, impacting global and local guide climates.

The Amazon Rainforest is a complex ecosystem that is influenced by both abiotic and biotic factors.
Abiotic factors refer to non-living components of the environment, such as sunlight, water, temperature, soil, and nutrients. These factors play a crucial role in shaping the physical characteristics of the rainforest and determining which species can thrive there.
On the other hand, biotic factors refer to living organisms and their interactions with one another, including competition for resources, predation, and symbiotic relationships.
The diversity of species in the Amazon Rainforest creates a delicate balance of these biotic factors that sustain life within the ecosystem.

Which Animals Can You Expect to See?
From colorful rare birds to giant river giant otters, caimans, and even big cats, the Amazon Rainforest is home to an incredible array of wildlife waiting to be discovered.
Jaguars, not tigers or leopards, are the primary big cats found in this lush environment. Jaguars are apex predators, and their diet mainly consists of over 80 different animal species, including fish, squirrel monkeys, and even caimans.
The Amazon is also home to an array of poisonous snakes. Species such as the anaconda, bushmaster, and various pit vipers thrive in this dense, humid habitat, playing critical roles in the ecosystem’s balance by controlling other animal populations.
Orangutans and Gorillas do NOT live in the Amazon Rainforest. Orangutans are native to Indonesia and Malaysia, living in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Gorillas are native to Africa.
Lemurs are native to Madagascar and are not found in the Amazon Rainforest.
Hippos are not native to the Amazon Rainforest; they are primarily found in Africa. The Amazon is home to its own unique aquatic mammal species, such as the Amazon Pink River Dolphins.
Crocodiles are not typically found in the Amazon, as it is primarily the territory of their relatives, the caimans. Caimans are similar to alligators and crocodiles and are adapted to the Amazonian environment.
Tarantulas, yes! The Amazon Rainforest is home to several species of tarantulas. These large, often hairy spiders play an essential role in controlling insect populations.
Toucans are indeed part of the Amazon Rainforest’s avian population. Their strikingly colorful beaks make them one of the most recognizable birds in the rainforest. But it’s not only home of them, it hosts numerous rare and exotic bird species.
Scarlet macaws, harpy eagles, and hoatzins are just a few of the unique birds that can be observed in this vast ecosystem.
Amazon Rainforest Flowers and Medicinal Plants
One of the most remarkable aspects of this ecosystem is its fruit trees and the staggering heights reached by the Amazonian trees.
Some notable ones include the Açaí Palm, known for its popular superfruit, the Açaí berry, which locals and health enthusiasts around the world cherish.
The Brazil Nut Tree is another giant of the Amazon that provides not only valuable nuts but also plays a critical role in the forest’s ecology.
Then, there’s the Cupuaçu Tree, whose fruits are used in desserts and cosmetics, known for its creamy, exotic-flavored fruit.
The emergent layer of the Amazon Rainforest, which consists of the tallest trees, can tower up to an impressive 200 feet (60 meters) or more.
These colossal trees include the Kapok Tree (Ceiba pentandra) and the Mahogany Tree (Swietenia mahagoni), which dominate the canopy and provide essential habitat and food for countless species.
Overall, the best rainforest Amazon spiritual retreats offer an unparalleled experience for those in search of spiritual guidance.
The serene environment, combined with ancient shamanic practices, facilitates profound personal transformations.
