5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS HER FIRST JAGUAR SIGHTING IN THE WILD !!!!

 MIA'S FIRST JAGUAR ENCOUNTER IN THE WILD 

For the past year my 5 year old Mia has been harrassing me constantly to go to the Jungle and see a Jaguar which has been a dream for not only her but also me. This week we finally made it happen !

We departed Santa Cruz and took the 5 hour drive to our exclusive wildlife watching Paradise of Jaguarland Reserve Bolivia , we set up camps and begun the first of our Safari drives. 

MIA AND HER NEW FRIEND 

As we were heading to a proven Jaguar watching area of the property i caught something out of my eye and it appeared to be a Jaguar in the distance, upon closer inspection it was not one but two Jaguars !!!

TWO JAGUARS !! 

HUGE MALE JAGUAR ! 

Mia was incredibly excited and a dream was made. During the trip we managed to see the same Jaguars ( a mating pair ) on 3 different occasions including a 30 minute encounter at night just 10m from our 4WD. In addition we also observed Monkeys, Capybara, Caiman, Macaws, Ocelots, Toucans , Collared Anteaters and much more.

THE BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCES IN BOLIVIA

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES IN BOLIVIA  -  From the owners perspective.

 ( PART 1)

For reasons unknown to us , Bolivia is one of the least visited destinations in South America. We know this country better than most and we think its the best kept secret in all of South America if not the world. 

From hiking the Andes Mountains, Sandboarding, marvelling at the Uyuni Salt Flats, Searching for Jaguars in the Amazon Rainforest or exploring the harsh and rarely visited Gran Chao, it has it all.

Here are a list of our personal favourite travel experiences in Bolivia 

1 : Madidi National Park and Alto Madidi 

Topping the list of my favourite travel experiences in Bolivia is Madidi National Park. This was my first real Jungle adventure and a main reason for staying in Bolivia. My first trip of 11 days was mainly searching for Jagaurs and Tapirs and happy to say that i achieved these goals.  This Park is perhas the most Biodiverse National Park on a planet and a MUST VISIT destination while in Bolivia.

2 : Kaa Iya National Park

The Kaa Iya National Park was and is still a dream destination for myself. Basically void of tourism , its one of the worlds best destinations to see Big Cats like Jaguars and Pumas. This 3.4 million hectare protected area has also provided me with my first Giant Armadillo Sightings, Puma sightings and so many close up encounters with the King of the Jungle the Jaguar. 

San Miguelito Jaguar Conservation Reserve 

This Cattle Ranch/ Eco tourism Reserve has a special place in our hearts. For a year i read about camera trap studies about this wonderful area and by chance met the owner, with a bit of convincing and hard work the Eco tourism started. Now this amazing Reserve recives up to 40 plus groups per year all of which loved their time and saw a lot of wildlife. 

UYUNI SALT FLATS 

Not too much else to explain why Uyuni Salt Flats makes the list. Its literally like visiting another planet. A must visit destination when coming to South America. 

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES IN BOLIVIA. Part two will explain my other favourite regions and experiences in Bolivia
