Chanchamayo, a beautiful region in Peru, has a rainy season that lasts for several months. During this time, heavy rains fall almost every day, making the air fresh and cool. The rivers flow faster, and the forests become greener. People often wear raincoats and boots to stay dry. Some activities, like hiking or swimming in rivers, are harder to do, but others, like enjoying waterfalls and fresh fruits, are even better!
