A 3 day Bolivian jungle experience!
Madidi National Park, in the upper Amazon river basin in Bolivia, boasts some of the highest biodiversity on earth, including over 1,000 bird species, as well as endemic plant and mammal species. This three day tour gives an excellent-value, jungle experience, staying at the San Miguel del Bala Ecolodge, which has been built from sustainable rainforest materials, following traditional local designs, and makes a wonderful base from which to enjoy this area.
