A RECORD  6 JAGUARS AND 3 GIANT ANTEATER SIGHTINGS  DURING A 4 DAY  BOLIVIAN WILDLIE SAFARI

From the 10th to the 13th of June 2022 we embarked on a 4 day Safari of Jaguar land Reserve Bolivia which is located in Santa Cruz Department of Bolivia.  During the tour we managed to have 6 different sightings of Jaguars many of which at close distance.

In addition we also saw multiple Giant Anteaters, Tapirs , Ocelots and even a couple of Bolivian Pink River Dolphins. 

Our European clients could not believe how much wildlife they observed and noted they saw more in Bolivia than the highly popular Brazilian Pantanal which is much more expensive and touristic then Bolivia.

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

REMOTE TRAVEL IN THE GRAN CHACO OF BOLIVIA

NEW EXPEDITION TO PALMAR DE LAS ISLAS IN KAA IYA NATIONAL PARK

From the 29th June  - 4 July we partook in an expedition to explore remote areas of the rarely visited Kaa Iya National Park. During the tour we would visit regular areas of Kaa Iya National Park where we have frequent sightings of Jaguars and Pumas, however the aim of the trip was to explore new routes in the Gran Chaco for tourism.

From the first drive we had incredible moments with a sighting of a large Puma, in additon we also saw multiple Tapir , Armadillos and Two Ocelots.

 Most interesting was the discovery of a freshly killed Tapir by a Jaguar, we waited 11 hours however as the winds were very strong the Jaguar didnt return until after we had departed. We set up a camera trap and will recover the footage in the coming week.

We departed towards Rio Blanco Park Rangers station and along the way had great sighting of a Yellow footed fox and sadly many signs of hunters entering areas of the Park. 

For the next few days we explored new areas of the Park including extremely remote areas of the Park, we were greeting with an amazing Puma sighting, amazing landscapes and many signs of Jaguar in the region.

Overall we had an amazing expedition to new areas of Kaa Iya National Park and are very excited for returning in the near future to explore more areas of this incredible Bolivian Wilderness area.
