Pampas in no doubt
T H E best place to see wildlife in Bolivia.
I came to this tour with low expectations, afraid of being disappointed, but was incredibly amazed by the variety of the animals we saw so close.
This 3-day-tour started by arriving in a jeep to Santa Rosa village, situated not far from Rio Yacuma.
From there we sailed in a canu and saw so many animals on the way, by evening arriving to our camp.
Rio Yacuma is one of the smaller rivers that are the source of the Amazon river.
On the second day we did a variety of interesting activities - Anaconda searching, Piranha fishing and of course Alligator hunting.
During our Anaconda session, it started raining dogs and cats, so the grassland we went in became a real swamp, making us in some places to sink in the mud till our knees.
Later that day, after nightfall, we went looking for an Alligator. Of course, our guide, Domingo, managed to catch one.
Although the alligator Domingo caught wasn't too big, he demonstrated an incredible control over the animal, managing to relax it, until it completely fell asleep!
On the third
Santa Rosa del Yacuma
A nice village we passed on the way to the Pampaand final day, we returned the same way, and saw some more animals in the river.
