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.

These are just a few of the incredible bird species which can be observed while birding in Bolivia. For more information about birdwatching trips around Bolivia contact Nicks Adventures Bolivia at www.nicksadventuresbolivia.com.

First ever Bush dog recorded in Amboro National Park

Every month as part of our tour to the Southern Side of the Bolivian Amboro National Park ( Refugio los Volcanes) we set and check our camera traps which are placed in areas of high probablity of recording wildlife, in the past we have recorded Jagaurs, Pumas, Ocelots and even the rare Spectacled Bear however nothing suprised us more when we recorded this image of this very rare and elusive species.  

The Bush Dog ( Speothos Venaticus) is a stocky yet small Canine , which weighs up to 5-8 kgs it feeds on anything from Agoutis, rodents , snakes etc and has even been recorded trying to hunt a Tapir which weighs up to 250kgs.
