The Pampas are the wetlands of the Bolivian Amazon, and the best place in the country to see wildlife up close. From Rurrenabaque you drive to Santa Rosa and travel by boat along the Yacuma River, looking for pink river dolphins, caimans, capybaras, turtles and monkeys. Two nights in an eco-lodge on the river, all meals and an English-speaking local guide.
Rurrenabaque → Santa Rosa → Eco-lodge
Depart Rurrenabaque at 9:00 AM by car to Santa Rosa, with chances to see sloths, anteaters and birds along the road. Around midday, a short boat ride takes you to the eco-lodge, where you are welcomed with fresh fruit juice and lunch. In the afternoon, a boat trip to look for pink river dolphins, caimans, turtles and birds. After dinner, a short night walk.

Wake up to the sounds of the pampas. After breakfast, a boat trip along the Yacuma River looking for squirrel, howler and capuchin monkeys and Amazon birds. Lunch and rest in the hammocks, then visit another area to see capybaras and try piranha fishing. At night, caiman spotting around the lodge.
Sunrise → Pampas walk → Rurrenabaque
Early start (5:30 AM) to watch the sunrise and hear the monkeys and birds. After breakfast, a walk in the pampas looking for the anaconda (depending on the season). Lunch at the lodge and return to Rurrenabaque around 4:30 PM.

The dry season (May to October) is best for wildlife, as animals gather near the river. In the rainy season the landscape is greener and the program may change.
