FAQs

Where does this tour start an end?

It starts and ends in the town of Rurrenabaque

Is transport to and from Rurrenabaque included?

No, it is NOT included

How do I get to Rurrenabaque?

You can take a long and bumpy bus ride (16 hrs approx) or a short 1-hour flight from La Paz. You can also take shared taxis from La Paz to Caranavi and Caranavi - Rurrenabaque (12 hrs approx).

When can this tour be done?

It can be done year-round but the months of May to November are considered the best due to less rain and more wildlife

Are there malaria-carrying mosquitoes in the region?

Malaria is considered a possibility in every region of the Amazon Basin in South America, although no cases have been reported in this region for decades. That said, it is important to use mosquito repellent and cover your body as much as possible.

Can I arrange transport to Rurrenabaque with Travexplora?

Yes, you can book your bus or flights (recommended) with us easily

Are flights often cancelled to/from Rurrenabaque?

During the rainy season cancellations are not uncommon. We recommend not booking international flights after the tour in case flights are delayed or cancelled due to bad weather. Although cancellations and delays are very rare in the dry months, it is still a remote possibility.

Is this tour the same as the Pampas tour?

No, the Pampas tour is a totally different tour that takes place in a totally different area. There are both Pampas + Jungle (Madidi) tours available if you are interested

Will I see lots of wildlife on this tour?

The jungle tour in Madidi has a strong focus on ecotourism and conservation. While the area is mega diverse and boasts all species of mammals, amphibians and birds, it is more challenging to spot them due to the nature of the jungle (as opposed to the Pampas in which you see lots of animals easily). Patience and lots of hiking increase the chances of spotting wildlife but it is never guaranteed as this is nature.

Do I need to be very fit to join this tour?

No, but a moderate level of fitness is highly recommended in order to enjoy the jungle hikes along the natural trails. You can always choose to spend time at the ecolodge but it is recommended to join the hikes for obvious reasons.
