HOW TO VISIT KAA IYA NATIONAL PARK

 The best Jaguar viewing/wildlife watching destination in South America

 

 

When one thinks of viewing Jaguars in the wild nearly everyone thinks of the North Pantanal, however after years of research we know better. Located 6 hours from Santa Cruz Bolivia is the world most pristine Chaco forest in the Kaa Iya National Park.

Kaa Iya National Park is internationally famous for Jaguars, many big cat studies have taken place here and bioligists put the Jaguars population inside the National Park at over 1000 cats, which makes it one of the most important areas for Jaguars in the world.

Kaa Iya National Park is not for everyone , its remote, hard to get to , extremely hot and has limited infrustructure, that being said those that visit can have some of the best wildlife watching in not only Bolvia but the whole of South America. Another reason to visit is that in comparison to the ultra expensive North Pantanal where they offer Jaguar tours, Kaa Iya is still inexpensive in comparison

The lowest price tour in the North Pantanal is around US 2000 Dollars per person where for Kaa Iya you can arrange a high quality Tour to Kaa Iya National Park for under 1200 per person.

In addition to seeing Jaguars, Kaa Iya National Park is exceptional for viewing a huge arrange of wildlife, Tapirs are seen frequently as with Pumas, Ocelots, Armadillos and a huge variety of Birdlife.

Kaa Iya is National Park is not only about Jaguars, its also the best place to see Tapirs as well.

As Kaa Iya National Park is extremely remote, it also has restricted access so tours to Kaa Iya National Park can only be arrange via a licenced tour operator, Nicks Adventures Bolivia are the specialist in this area and have been operating tours here for the past 3 years. There wildlife viewing success speaks for itself and in May this year on a tour 6 Jaguars, 5 Tapir and 5 Armadillos were seen on one tour.
