Take a tour of Rurrenabaque Pampas, Bolivia
100km north-east of Rurrenabaque, in the Bolivian lowlands, is Santa Rosa, the remote jumping off point for boat tours on the slow-moving Río Yacuma, where wildlife is bountiful. Families of capybara, hundreds of caiman, pink river dolphin, raucous hoatzin, herons and innumerable other birds can be seen at boat level.
Look up into the gallery forest for howler, squirrel and capuchin monkeys. On a walk through the marshes, wading in parts, you’ll see spoonbills and maybe even an anaconda if you’re lucky.
