Bolivia's tropical side – rainforest, wildlife and river cruises in the heart of the Amazon.
Bolivia's tropical side – rainforest, wildlife and river cruises in the heart of the Amazon.
Rurrenabaque is the small town that provides access to Bolivia’s Amazon region, reachable via a short flight from La Paz that in under an hour swaps the Andean altiplano for tropical rainforest. It’s the starting point for exploring both the pampas and Madidi National Park.
Cruising along the Yacuma River, the pampas offer one of South America’s most concentrated wildlife-spotting experiences: caimans, capybaras, squirrel monkeys and pink river dolphins line the banks on every boat excursion.
Considered one of the parks with the greatest biodiversity in the world, Madidi protects a territory that stretches from the Andes to the Amazon plain, home to jaguars, tapirs, spider monkeys and hundreds of bird species in an almost untouched ecosystem.
Most experiences take place at lodges deep in the forest, with local guides leading night walks, wildlife spotting and visits to indigenous communities along the river.
For anyone wanting to discover Bolivia's tropical side, the Amazon and Madidi offer an authentic and surprising nature experience!
