Northern Rainforest & Pampas
Amazonia
Bolivia's Amazon is one of the least-crowded in South America — the Madidi–Pampas corridor out of Rurrenabaque, where jungle and flooded savannah sit side by side and wildlife density is remarkable.
Madidi National Park protects one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet; the neighbouring Pampas del Yacuma offer open-water wildlife viewing — caimans, capybaras, pink river dolphins, hundreds of bird species — from small boats.
Lodging runs from community-owned ecolodges deep in Madidi to comfortable riverside camps in the pampas. Access is by short flight from La Paz to Rurrenabaque, then river or road transfer.
Bolivexa pairs the Amazon with the Andes for the classic altitude-to-rainforest contrast, handling the weather-sensitive logistics — flight schedules here move — with buffer days built in.
