This region has a tropical flora.
The fauna includes the Tapir (sachavaca, also called mountain cow), the White-lipped Peccary (huangana), and the Jaguar (otorongo).
High Jungle is the hottest region in Peru.
Between November and March, and sunny days from April to October; and the lowland jungle (below 700 masl), where the dry season runs from April to October and is ideal for tourism, with sunshine and high temperatures often topping 35°C.
During this season, the river levels dip and roads are easy to drive. The rainy season, meanwhile, which runs from November to March, features frequent rain showers (at least once a day) which can damage roads in the area.
