July - August
This is the beginning of the dry season, with less rainfall and soaring temperatures which can reach 40°C. With less water volume in the rivers, more of the hiking trails become accessible and you can explore deeper into the jungle. Wildlife is easiest to spot during the dry season as many animals are drawn from the depths of the jungle in search of water. There are fewer mosquitos than in the wet season.
