The best birdwatching experiences in Bolivia

BIRDING IN BOLIVIA


(PART 1 )

Bolivia is one of the worlds most underrated Birding destinations on the planet. In fact it boosts the highest amount of bird species for any landlocked country on the planet. In additon its also home to some incredible endemic species such as the critically endangered Blue throated and Red Fronted Macaws. 

See the gallery below for some of the bird species recorded during our Bolivian Birdwatching tour 


1: Harpy Eagle 

This incredible Harpy Eagle was recorded during an expedition in the Amazon Region of Bolivia.



2: Red Fronted Macaw 

This endemic and sadly now critically endangered Macaw can be seeen during our Bolivian Macaw or Eastern Bolivia birding tour.


Blue throated Macaw
 
This endemic and sadly critically endangered Macaw is only found in a few select areas on earth. Our expert guides know the best location to see the Blue throated Macaw in their natural habitats.

  BIRD WATCHING IN BOLIVIA

Unknown to many Bolivia is literally a Birders Paradise, not only does it host some of the highest recorded numbers of birds , it also has a large selection of unique and endemic birds which are found no where else on the Planet.
Here is a select list of some of our favourite birds of Bolivia which we frequently see during our Bird watching tours in Bolivia

RED FRONTED MACAW

Critically endangered a few years ago this spectacular Macaw species is endemic to Bolivia and is only found in just a few select locations on earth, thanks to increased conservation efforts the numbers of the Red Fronted Macaws are slowing increasing. These magnifient Macaws can be found in Toro Toro National Park, The Red Fronted Macaw Lodge and a small yet visable population also just outside Samaipata as well.


 ANDEAN CONDOR 

The spectacular Andean Condor is a must see for all nature lovers and birdwatchers. With a Wingspan of up to 3 metres its the worlds heaviest flying bird. The Andean Condor is best observed in Samaipata Bolivia where these is a location which nearly promises sightings and as such could be considered the very best  Andean Condor watching location on the planet.


BLUE THROATED MACAW  

 

With populations thought to be between 150-300 the Blue Throated Macaw is critically endangered and is the worlds rarest wild living Macaw. It survives in just a few areas in the Beni department. There are only a few places where these beautiful and endemic Macaws can be seen including the Blue Throated Macaw Lodge and  to a private ranch to do the BLUE THROATED MACAW DAY TOUR where Blue Throated Macaws can be seen frequently quite close to Trinidad.

HOATZIN 

 

The Hoatzin or Stink bird is a unique and strange looking bird which is found in tropical forests and the wetland areas, its distinguished by its strange crest on his head and the chicks have claws on their wing digits.

These are just a few of the hundreds of species of birds found in Bolivia, This country truly is a bird watchers paradise. If you are needing more information about Bird watching in Bolivia write to our email of  nicksadventuresbolivia@gmail.com or  visit us  at www.nicksadventuresbolivia.com
