Fun Fact

Take the chance to meet the elusive Bolivian river dolphin (Inia boliviensis). Unlike its marine relatives, this unique dolphin swims in the rivers of the Amazon and can grow up to 9.2 feet long, making it the largest freshwater dolphin in the world.

It also has more teeth, a smaller skull, and a longer body compared to the Amazonian river dolphin. Plus, these freshwater giants can weigh as much as 400 pounds—roughly the weight of two adult male dolphins from the ocean!

Itinerary

Day 1

On the first day, after breakfast (not included), we will pick you up from your hotel in Rurrenabaque. There is the option to pick you from the airport (if you arrive on the same day of the tour before 10:30 am).
We will venture into the nature of Pampas del Yacuma, traveling by land from Rurrenabaque.

We will have lunch in the beautiful town of Santa Rosa del Yacuma. After our meal we will  then motorboat upstream on the Yacuma River. During this trip, we will observe incredible species. Spot birds, caimans, turtles, monkeys, capybaras, and maybe even pink dolphins!

At the end of the day, we will enjoy a beautiful sunset in Pampas del Yacuma. For those who want something extra, they can join a nocturnal activity. You will have the chance to observe the shine in the eyes of the caimans (for this activity, each person must have a flashlight).
