CAMERA TRAP IMAGES FROM AMBORO NATIONAL PARK BOLIVIA

At Nicks Adventures Bolivia we are commited to showing the amazing biodiversity this small but spectacular country has to offer. We purchased some camera traps and set them up in areas of the  Amboro National Park and here are some of the results.

PUMA

OCELOT 

This beautiful cat is relativly common however is rarely seen, it preys on birds, mammals, reptiles and is mostly active at night. Its the most common feline species in Bolivia.

JAGUAR

Sady this is the only image we have recorded in 4 years of surveys, this Jaguar was killed 3 weeks after this image was taken by Ranchers on the border of the park. Something we need to change.

SPECTACLED BEAR

Our only image of this shy and elusive species in Amboro. This is the only species of Bear in South America.

MARGAY

 

BUSH DOG 

An incredible capture of this rarely sighted cainine, this is potentially the first ever recording of this species in Amboro National Park.

 TAYRA

This member of the weasel family can be frequently seen running on trails or in trees hunting birds and reptiles.

These are just a few of thousands of images we have captured, for more information about our tours to Amboro National Park, follow us on facebook of Nicks Adventures Bolivia or visit our website of www.nicksadventuresbolivia.com

BEST NON TOURISTIC DESTINATIONS  IN BOLIVIA

Exploring Lomas de Arena Protected Area in Santa Cruz

Sadly the majority of tourists who visit Bolivia just see the same old route, Sucre, Potosi , Uyuni and La Paz before departing though Lake Titicaca. What if we told you about a whole new variety of exciting tourist destinations which most people have never heard of, well here are a few of our favourites.

JARDIN LAS DELICAS WATERFALLS, ( SANTA CRUZ BOLIVIA )

Just 3 hours from Santa Cruz, these waterfalls are a MUST VISIT when travelling through Bolivia. These impressive watefalls are situationed on the border of Amboro National Park.  

TRINIDAD BOLIVIA

The capital of Beni Bolivia, this is the base for a huge variety of adventures, including Pink Dolphin watching, fishing, bird watching and visiting the incredible San Carlos Wildlife Reserve where if lucky can see Jaguars and giant Black Caimans etc.Other attractions include visiting the Gran Mojas Protected Area which is home the endemic and critically endangered Blue throated Macaw or also Chuchini Reserve which is a privately owned reserve with excellent bird and wildlife watching.

SAN MIGUELITO JAGUAR RESERVE 

An incredible reserve teeming with wildlife just 3 hours drive from Santa Cruz Bolivia.This is an eco tourism project where Nicks Adventures Bolivia has helped develop a tour which compensates Ranchers for cattle losses and in turn no Jaguars or hunting is allowed on the property. Activities here include 4WD trips, night safaris, setting up and checking camera traps, light to intense trekking , boat trips along secluded rivers, horse riding, community visits, wildife watching , fishing and much more.

SANTIAGO DE CHIQUITOS 

One of our favourite places in all of Bolivia, locals are catching on and are now visiting on long weekends, as yet international tourists are unware of this paraside. A good tip is to stay at the comfortable Hostel Churpa where the lovely owners will make your stay unforgettable.
