Rurrenabaque
Amazon Basin
Pampas-Jungle
Only one hour flight from La Paz, and you will be at the centre of the
Amazon basin, hot ,humid and ticking all over with wild life, more like an
open zoo, where you will encounter many different kinds of birds, animals,
plants, and the amazing thing that you will appreciate, is that you will
have the Pampas and the Jungle (Madidi Park) next to each other, both
different environments, you can visit both in 5 days, recommended, or just
choose one or the other, but for Pampas you need a minimum of 3 days. An
example of the fauna that you will encounter:
- Birds (batos, flamingos)
- Capivaras
- Anacondas
- Turtles
- Monkeys
- Piranhas
- Pink Dolphins( you may swim with them!)
- Crocodriles
