TREK & JUNGLE RAFTING – MADIDI
EXPRESS
Apolo/Tuichi Expedition 10 days
Have you ever wondered: How it would feel to be in a really remote area, really away from civilisation, away from the noise, there where anything can happen, in the middle of nowhere in an Amazon Rainforest in South America. Just the idea of being in a remote area, in the middle of nowhere would scare you, but what we do on this Tour is to escort you in a professional way so that you can sense how it feels like to be in the middle of nowhere but SAFE! Very knowledgeable local guides, professional cooks, fluent interpreters, will be part of the staff that will go with you.
Beautiful 4 x 4 trip by LAKE TITIKAKA, crossing the Andes into the lowlands, Jungle trek is done in order to get to the river. By the time we get to the river, our rafts will be ready. After some days rafting and exploring the Jungle, learning how to survive and walking at night in the Jungle, we finish with a motorised boat that takes us to Rurrenabaque. This Tour covers a huge area of Madidi National Park, more than any other of our Tours. You see the LESS TOUCHED area of Madidi National Park guaranteed!
One of the best ways to discover the Deep Rainforest, one of the best ways to see the South American Amazon Rainforest.
