Exploring Kaa iya National Park in Bolivia

2016 Kaa Iya National Park Best Wildlife Sightings

At Nicks Adventures Bolivia we are lucky to visit some of the most remote and pristine areas found on the planet, a prime example of this is the spectacular Kaa Iya National Park , which is the most pristine Chaco Forest on earth.

Its remoteness has protected it from the outside world and is now one of the BEST PLACES in the world to observe Jagaurs in the wild. In addition to Jaguars, its also common to see Pumas, Tapirs, Ocelots, Titi Monkeys, Rattle Snakes, Toucans and even Giant Anteaters.

Our tours to Kaa Iya National Park are aimed at giving our clients the best chance to see these animals in the wild, so please see some of this years amazing wildlife sighings in Kaa iya National Park.
