The Amazon rainforest is never cold. It's located in the tropics right below the equator.
Indigenous people and Brazilians live there.

first you need to look at where the amazon rainforest is located it is located at between 5-10 degrees north and south of the equator. what are the specs of this location it is tropical equatorial. tropical equatorial is located 5 degrees above the equator.what the spec of the equator HOT. as you move futher away from the equator the cooler it gets temperature decrease. in the tropical rainforest experiences one temperature there is now fulctuations in temperature it rains constantly.so the question to your question is no due its location there is no possible way for the equator to be cold.in the tropical rainforest there are indigenous amerindians/ indians.remember the futher you move from the equator the cooler/colder it gets this is way places have snow because they further from the equator. the equator located at 0 degrees latitude and is where the sun hits directly.

Becuase they live in the southern hemisphere, so if it's summer here, winter there. Winter here, summer there.
I don't live there, but I learned this from geography class.
