Madidi National Park

Madidi National Park is home to the most amazing flora and fauna. The Amazon River passes through here, and you can enjoy its riverside views or even take a cruise through here. If you're bored of the riverside, you can always hike through the rainforest and enjoy the views of the ice-covered peaks of the Andes.

There is also the smaller Tuichi River which is also home to the most diverse collection of animals. You can book your accommodation in sustainable hostels around Madidi National Park, like Chalalan Ecolodge. As it is a protected area, make sure you are always mindful of your surroundings and never disturb the natural habitat.

The dry season (April to October) is the best time to visit because transportation is easy, and wildlife tends to congregate around the rivers, where you can easily spot them. Inside the park, the wetter months are lush, if not a bit soggy, but be aware that mosquitoes will be active.
