Nor Yungas Province

A misty mountain region transitioning from the Andes to the Amazon, where cycling, animal rescue, and Afro-Bolivian culture meet.

Nor Yungas Province is located in the northeastern part of La Paz Department, Bolivia, in the Yungas cloud forest zone on the eastern slopes of the Andes, with Coroico as its capital. Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary rescues and rehabilitates wild animals, while the Flying Fox zipline crosses the valley. Mount Uchumachi, the Coroico Waterfalls Trail, and the El Calvario Chapel viewpoint offer subtropical mountain views. Tocaña Afro-Bolivian Village showcases a unique culture, and Coroico's Main Plaza and Cathedral form the town center. The dry season from April to October is best for travel, as mountain roads carry higher risks during the rainy season. It is generally reached by car from La Paz in about three hours.
