VISITING NOEL KEMPFF MERCADO NATIONAL PARK 

Explore the most remote and least touristic National Park in South America

Located in the Santa Cruz department of Santa Cruz is the spectacular,  rarely visited paradise of Noel Kempff Mercado National Park. Such is the diversity of this park is that its been declared world heritage listed. The parks attractions include unrivalled wildlife watching potential including Pink Dolphins, Jaguars including melanistic cats, Pumas, Giant Anteaters, Green Anaconda, Giant Otters, Harpy Eagles, Spider Monkeys and much more !

The park also offers nature lovers a huge variety of different Ecosystems, some the most pristine on the planet, the park consists of Amazon Rainforest, Pampas Wetland, Dry Woodlands and Savanna of the Huanchaca Plateau.

Getting to the park is extremely tough and due to the remoteness , road conditions and logistics it should be only taken after VERY careful planning preperation and consideration and ideally with a licenced Tour Operator /guide. 
There are two ways to reach the park , and thats by land which is extremely lengthy and with a lot of issues or by Air ( which in the wet season is the only possible way )

 The park itself has a few main attractions and they include the following

HUANCHACA PLATEAU
AHFELD , ARCO IRIS AND EL ENCANTO WATERFALLS


The Southern Side of the Park is best for wildlife watching and trips via El Refugio Bioligical Reserve or Los Fierros via the Huanchata Plateau are recommended. These areas are home to thriving populations of Jaguars, Giant Otters, Tapirs and even extremely rare species such as the Harpy eagle or Maned Wolf can be seen.

 The North of the Park via Piso Firme or Flor de Oro are best for reaching the major waterfalls of the Park which are the spectacular Arco Iris and Ahfeld Waterfalls. These two waterfalls are some of the most beautiful in South America.


If you are a true adventure/wildlife lover and looking for a unique experience then a visit to Noel Kempff Mercado National Park is the trip of a lifetime !!  The park due to its logistics is not for everyone however those who do make the expedition are left with memories they will never forget.
