DAY 3

After checking out of the hotel, head on to the Alto Beni River on a boat and visit a community largely dedicated to the production of sugarcane honey. Then it is back on the river for the voyage to the rainforest of Madidi National Park and your accommodations for the next two nights at an indigenous community-run eco-lodge. After lunch head on a walk through the jungle with an experienced local guide that will share stories and their vast knowledge of the jungle's flora and fauna. Then it's back to the lodge for a buffet dinner and a night's sleep to the sounds of the jungle.

Madidi National Park is considered one of the most biodiverse on the planet! It is also one of the largest national parks in the world. New species are constantly found. In a 3-year survey started in 2015, 1,362 new species were documented. It is thought to contain over 1,100 species of birds (~11% of all bird species in the world). It is home to 46 indigenous communities from six different tribes and most still use traditional methods of jungle living.

Mosquitoes are common in the area and malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever are potential risks, so, limiting mosquito bites is always preferable. DEET-based repellents are the most effective, but are often hard to get in Bolivia, so it's best to bring it from home. DEET can be very harmful to animals (including humans) - your eyes, mouth, and animals should never come in contact with it. See more about mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses in Tour FAQ.
