The research determined the influence of rainfall on litterfall production in the Amazonian peatland forest of the Quistococha tourist complex. Twenty-five collectors were installed in a permanent plot of 0,5 hectares; collection was carried out monthly for 10 months (September 2020 to June 2021). Litterfall production provided limits between 9,48 Mgha-1yr-1 and 2,48 Mgha-1yr-1, with an average production of 5,55 Mgha-1yr-1. Leaves contributed 44,42%, palm flowers 24,79%, branches<2cm 10,14%, others 8,07%, palm leaves 6,57%, flowers 4,13%, fruits 1,18% and seeds 0,69%. The rainfall in the study area did not leave evidence of the seasons (droght and flood) for the 10-month period, however, the consolidated 20- year period shows accelerated changes and months with higher rainfall in the last 10 years. The correlation between rainfall and litterfall production showed an R of 0,625, which indicates that rainfall moderately influence on litterfall production; an R2 of 0,39 indicates that 39% of litterfall production is due to rainfall, and the correlation graph showed that good litterfall production is generated in the Quistococha peatland forest in ranges from 250 mm to 350 mm of rainfall.
