Pampas
3 Days / 2 Nights

PAMPAS: This fascinating landscape, close to Rurrenabaque, is domain of the Yacuma River, which meanders through dense riverside Amazonian forests and streams, connecting small lakes, swamps, wetlands, and grasslands. The region is famous among nature lovers for its high diversity and abundance of major wildlife. Its open, expansive vegetation allows you to closely observe capybaras, pink river dolphins, monkeys (including black howler, squirrel and brown capuchin monkeys), anacondas, caimans and rheas in their habitat: a compelling experience!.
