This is an adventure tour operator in the Bolivian Amazon, specializing in multi-day trips. Located deeper than any other operator in Madidi National Park, we are committed to offering our guests the most authentic rainforest experience. Activities include hiking, fishing, rafting, birdwatching and survival skills. We accommodate only eight guests at a time and tailor the tour to our clients' interests.
While the adventures are rugged, our EcoCamp is a relaxing and comfortable refuge. Swing in our hammocks, enjoy our traditional meals and experience life in the jungle. The founder of the company, Pedro Macuapa, is committed to the environmental,social and economic sustainability of his enterprise. We help to support his indigenous community, San Jose de Uchupiamonas.

The second half of your stay would be spent at our EcoCamp, in the heart of the Park. There, you will work to improve hospitality, professionalism and overall guest experience on our tours. Manual work may also be required.
