The best time to go to Sucusari is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.
During these months, the weather is generally more predictable with less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the Amazon rainforest. The river levels are lower, which can make it easier to spot wildlife along the banks and on sandbars. The temperatures are consistently warm, typically ranging from 25°C to 32°C, and humidity is lower than in the wet season.
This period is particularly good for those interested in wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate closer to the rivers and are more visible. Activities like jungle treks, piranha fishing, and boat excursions are more comfortable and accessible due to the drier conditions. It's also a popular time for birdwatching, as many species are active.
While the dry season is generally preferred, the wet season (November to April) also has its advantages, especially for those looking for a different experience. During these months, the rainforest is at its most lush, and the higher river levels allow for deeper exploration into flooded forests by canoe.
