Tumichucua Lake

Lake Tumichucua is a natural landmark located in the heart of the Amazon forest. On the shores of the lake, there is a community of farmers with the same name. In front, there is an island that inspired the name of this place because Tumichucua comes from the Takana dialect, which means "Island of the Motacuses," which refers to the Palm of Motacú (Attalea phalerata) abound on the island and its vicinity. To this day, the island has preserved its natural wealth with a diversity of palm trees, giant trees, and all kinds of animals.

The community of Tumichucua is built on the shores of this lake and is of great beauty with tropical gardens, rustic buildings, and stunning views of the lake and island. The community has a rich history. Many archaeological remains dated from the polychromatic period about 4000 years ago.

Be aware that it may only be available for day trips, and you might be staying nearby inland instead. It is one of the most secluded places in Bolivia and is one of the must-visits if you enjoy indigenous culture and nature walks.
