Two circuits that depart from the vast plains of the east to the mountain peaks in the west, while crossing the Amazon jungle. On the way, two days are given for exploration, either in Bella Vista a secluded spot at the heart of the Amazon jungle, or in Rurrenabaque a more frequented town, whose civilized touch fades quickly as we get into a canoe and drift into the arms of the surrounding rivers…
Either way, you will experience an exceptional contact with the abundance of nature. A good mosquito repellent is a must…
Trinidad - Bella
Vista - La Paz - 7 days – about 750 miles of which only 10% is asphalted
Departure from Trinidad, at the heart of the Amazons, toward Bella Vista. The circuit combines 2 days of exploration in the jungle and its surrounding savanna, then a slow ascent to the Andes, going through the tropical valleys of the Yungas and crossing a mountain pass at over 16,000 ft. before reaching La Paz.
Santa Cruz - Trinidad
- Rurrenabaque - La Paz - 10 days – just over 1250 miles of which 20% is asphalted.
Departure from Santa Cruz, economic capital of the country, pass Trinidad, mosquito capital of the country… The trail meanders to the heart of the jungle before arriving in Rurrenabaque. Small pause to explore the river bank and maybe an expedition on canoe during our day of rest. We approach the Andes by the vertiginous routes of the Yungas, pass 16,000 ft. and descend toward La Paz, the political capital of Bolivia.
