The Wild Heart of Bolivia
A popular addition to the Bolivia tour has been an extension to visit the Apolo area. The recently discovered Inti Tanager lives in the Palkachupa Cotinga range around the town of Apolo- but only in the rainy season- hence it is ideal to visit the area in November or December. Apolo has refurbished their airport and runway, but there are still no commercial flights to the town. It is an adventure, but our trips to the area are based on a two-day birding drive down to Apolo, a day in the dry forest for the Inti Tanager, a day in Andean Cerrado for the Palkachupa Cotinga, and then a two day return drive visiting areas of cloud forest and puna habitat. This extension usually takes seven days.
Pricing depends on group size, travel dates, and optional extensions.
