Let's go for a stay in the pampas: sensitive souls to abstain
In the northwest of Bolivia lies the Amazonian part of the country. For exploration, everything starts from Rurrenabaque.
Sometimes there are real moments of grace on a trip: Everything is going very well. You meet great, fun, cool, interesting people, the chance to see wild animals live, the nature is amazing, food is good, the locals are kind and hospitable. This adventure exists in Bolivia, but it requires you to forget comfort and safety for few days, because in the Bolivian pampas it is the jungle.
The adventure starts here: a 3m crocodile is hidden under the kitchen
Fishing Piranhas is easy, you just have to keep your fingers out of it
To observe the anacondas you need a lot of mud and courage!
The camp provides rubber boots for explorers. You have to make do with the stock. There’s little chance of finding a pair that fits the right size!
Long trousers and a long-sleeved t-shirt are also in demand. The boat glides along the meanders of the Amazon and lands on an island.
It takes a long walk to find the snakes and the water keeps rising. The boots quickly become submerged and the muddy, brackish water rises up to the navel. And no one wants to know what’s hiding in there…
We wanted adventure? Here it is!
The anacondas are waiting for us, well hidden in the trees in this season. This part of the jungle also shelters other animals: anteater, capricious monkeys, toucans… A real pleasure!
