Amboró National Park
Parque Nacional Amboró
One of the most biodiverse protected areas in Bolivia, spanning the Andean foothills, cloud forest, and Amazonian lowlands.
Parque Nacional Amboró covers about 4,400 square kilometers where the eastern slopes of the Andes meet the Amazon plain. It has recorded more than 800 bird species and is home to rare animals including spectacled bears, jaguars, and horned guans. Samaipata is the main gateway to the southern part of the park. Many agencies in town organize day and multi-day hikes, with routes passing giant fern forests, the La Yunga community, and high-altitude viewpoints. Entry requires a registered guide and a ticket. Multi-day trips require your own sleeping bag or lodging at community camps. During the rainy season (November to March), roads are muddy and some trails close.
