Short 1 Day Tour

AM 01

Interpretive Hike inside Amboró National Park at Las Yungas, Tree Fern Forest.

We spend 3 to 4 hours in the cloud forest ¨Las Yungas¨, alternating between easy walking and nature interpretation along specially designed trails, magic for the nature-lover and birdwatcher in particular. The trails wander beneath the canopy of myrtaceae, laurels, bolivian cedars, bolivian pines, polylepis, and weinmannias, going on to lookouts on the ridge of the La Mina mountain range, where great parts of the Amboró National Park lie at your feet.
Not only will we pause in the misty atmosphere of the tree fern forest, where the magical mosses and bromeliads flourish, or search for birds with our binoculars; we will also seek to understand the evolutionary forces and ecological processes within this unique ecosystem and discover the value of its many medicinal plants. Photo oppertunities abound (200-400 ISO).
From the Inter-andean valleys, the trip up the hillside road takes 1½ hour by car. Return trip also takes 1½ hour. According to time of year and road conditions we will go up by way of Mairana, Las Lauras, or Los Alisos. Snack and packed lunch in the forest. As the hike covers areas between 2,100 and 2,250 meters above sea level, anti-malaria medication is not necessary, but do bring a rain jacket or poncho.
An alternative for the more adventurous group is the climb from Las Lauras up El Cerro La Mina (2450 meters), which rewards its visitors with the best vistas around. This option adds an extra hour to the itinerary (no extra charge).

Duration: 7 to 8 hrs., for example, 9:oo a.m. to 4 p.m.

BW 00-LI

Hike to the Condors’ Cliff and their tiered Waterfall

It surprises many that the Andean Condor can also be found in this region where it encounters sustenance and places where it can digest its food, sleep, rest and bathe. We will make our way to a remote cliff which is constantly being used by condors in pairs or groups, young and adults of both sexes, either in order to rest and to digest the carrion found or to bathe in a hidden pool of this extaordinary cliff. We will also see on the way up other birds of prey: American Kestrel on a exposed branch, Aplomado Falcon in swift flight, Variegated Hawk suspended in flight somewhere near the summit, Roadside Hawk screaming while circling above, White-tailed Kite or Swallow-tailed Kites in huge migratory flocks and near the cliff smaller carrion eaters, Turkey Vultur with its narrow wings, Black Vultur with its short tail. On the way we may encounter Scaly-headed Parrot flying in groups, Blue-fronted Parrot in pairs and parakeets like Green-cheked, Mitred and Blue-crowned. Also the tiny Ocellated Piculet, the big hooded Crimson-crested and Cream-backed Woodpeckers; spectacular Red-tailed Comet and White-bellied Hummigbird, White-vented Violet-ear, Glittering-bellied Emerald, Sappho sparganura. We will hear the elusive Giant Antshrike, the still Spot-backed Puffbird, the mimetic Masked Trogon and the Huayco Tinamou of the pastures. The experience of observing behaviour details is matched by the chance of taking sharp close-up photos. (The tiered waterfall mentioned is unaccesible for people, do not mistake it with sunny La Pajcha fall in next tour, a place to bathe, reachable by motor vehicle).
