Bolivia - Rurrenabaque (Pampas)

After waiting in Coroico for a few days in vain for a group to join for the Death Road, I then traveled overnight to Rurrenabaque. So to the Bolivian lowlands or Amazon area. A relaxed place on the Beni River. It's also tropical hot, so everything as promised - and also quite touristy. It is the starting point for all tours in the rainforest (Selva) or the Pampas.

I already got to know the rainforest with all its floral diversity in Peru. That's why we're going to the Pampas for a 3-day tour. Mixed with New Zealanders, Dutch and Bolivians, we take a 2-hour jeep ride to the starting point. Along the way, we see a well-hidden sloth in addition to a lot of dust.

After that, we only continue by boat. Two hours to the lodge, but essentially it's already more exciting and better than anything promised. Animals upon animals on both sides of the river and above us. Caimans, turtles, capybaras, monkeys, many birds, even a toucan. We've already seen almost everything on the way there alone. And it's true that in the Pampas you can see the animals much easier than in the jungle! This is because everything happens on the riverbank and the trees there. Behind it, there are vast grass and swamp areas that offer little shelter and food.

What else remains for the second and third day? We go on an anaconda hunt, fish for piranhas, watch the sunrise and sunset, and finally swim with the pink dolphins. So still a lot! From my intention not to take too many photos, since I had already seen most of it in Peru, there is not much left. Constantly, the motifs get better and animals come closer.
