What To Expect
Amboro National Park
Amboró National Park is one of the most important protected areas in Bolivia and South America. Within its boundaries lie a variety of ecosystems ranging from the Yungas cloud forest to the Andes and the Chaco region. The Giant Ferns of Amboró are a true natural treasure, reaching heights of up to 13 meters — and growing only 1 centimeter per year. This cloud forest is one of the few places in the world where these prehistoric, tree-like plants still survive, dating back to the time of the dinosaurs.

5.00Nice walk through the jungle and huge ferns to see. With the clouds and fog, it had something magical. Guide Nicola knew a lot about the different types of vegetation. He calmly took his time and made sure everyone had a nice afternoon. Definitely recommended to visit Amboro national park!
