WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS IN BOLIVIA

AMAZING WILDLIFE OF BOLIVIA

( PART 1 )

Bolivia is a wildlife watchers paradise. This landlocked country has Amazon Rainforest, Chaco Dry forests, Pantanal Wetlands as well as pristine Yunga Cloud forests. 

SEE BELOW SOME OF THE WILD AND BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL SPECIES IN THIS AMAZING COUNTRY

Harpy Eagle

The majestic and rarely seen Harpy Eagle is found in pristine Amazon Rainforests, it has talons the same size as a Grizzly bear and is a prolific sloth and monkey eater. Sadly each year it becomes rarer as land is coverted to soya and ranch land.

JAGUAR 

The largest feline of Latin America, this stocky big cat is the king of the Amazon Rainforest , Dry forest of the Chaco and Wetlands of the Pantanal. Its prey includes Capybara, Caimans and sadly cows which are the main reason for this big cats rapid decline.

TAPIR

 

One of our very favorite animals in Bolivia. This gentle giant is the largest land mammal in South America and is extremely important as its a seed dispercer. Like the Jagaur , its rapidly declining due to overhunting and loss of habitat.

ANACONDA

The Anconda is the stuff of legends, and is feared by every local who shares its habitat. In reality the Anaconda is not the killing machine that movies potray and actually does everything it can to avoid people. 

This is just a sample of the amazing wildlife Bolivia has to offer. For the best wildlife tours in Bolivia contact Nicks Adventures Bolivia.  WWW.NICKSADVENTURESBOLIVIA.COM 

MADIDI NATIONAL PARK OR THE PAMPAS OF BOLIVIA ?

 MADIDI NATIONAL PARK VS PAMPAS TRIPS

Unknown to most travellers, is that the Bolivian Amazon via Madidi National Park is one of the worlds most pristine and biodiverse locations on the planet and if you visit the best locations then you will have have the Jungle experience of a lifetime

Sadly many budget tour companies and agencies offer cheap Jungle trips very close to the town of Rurrenrabaque , these areas are often overun with large groups backpackers as well as are in areas of high hunting pressure. As a result many of these travellers write blogs and spread the word that the Amazon in Bolivia is not good for wildlife and that the Pampas is a better option. This cannot be further from the truth.

Amazing views of the Amazon Rainforest of Madidi National Park- well away from the crowds which greatly affect wildlife watching.

While the Pampas does offer travellers easy access and good viewing of many species, the chances to see rarer species such as Tapirs, Jaguars or Giant Otters are virtually 0. In the areas where our tourists visit they are frequently rewarded with incredible views of these species , as well as experiencing the pristine forests away from the crowds.

Jaguar sighting deep in the Tuichi River, our tourists have around a 30 percent success rate , which is extremely high for an Amazon Rainforest trips.

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO TRAVELLERS IS TO EXPLORE BOTH REGIONS OF MADIDI NATIONAL PARK AND THE BOLIVIAN PAMPAS.  BOTH ECOSYSTEMS ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT AND ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF ANY VISIT TO BOLIVIA.
