The hottest month of the year in Puerto Ayacucho is March, with an average maximum temperature of 34°C and a minimum of 25°C.The cold season lasts for 3 months, from May 27 to August 27, with an average daily high temperature below 31°C.

The coldest month of the year in Puerto Ayacucho is July (rain), with an average minimum temperature of 23°C and a maximum of 30°C and abundant water.

​

In our expedition we will navigate deep jungle rivers that regulate their temperature differently from Puerto Ayacucho and we must bear in mind that we are talking about a rainy jungle and the flow of the rivers is sufficient for day and night navigation.

​

Let's break down the topic of rain and the season to navigate by month:

→ May: As of May 20, the water level of the rivers begins to rise, you can navigate without problems.

​

→ June: It is an excellent month for navigation, since it starts to rain and the rivers have an adequate flow.

​

→ July and August: In these months the incidence of rainfall is much higher, so the rivers are mighty and there are intermittent rains. Sometimes it happens that it rains for hours; but it rarely rains throughout the day, which makes our expedition very interesting, since we will have the opportunity to do different activities.

​

→ September: The level of the rivers begins to drop and the rains are less, but abundant enough to navigate. At the end of this month of September the levels begin to be very low, so there will be sections that are a bit difficult to cover, but not impossible.
