This is a top pick! After spending a week in the jungle and we are fully Tarzaned up although without the loin cloth!!! We went on a 3 day/ 2 night tour with a fab group of people (2 Ozzies, 3 Kiwis, 1 English, 1 Dutch, and 3 French) to the Pampas (marsh and river ...
Mountain peaks to Jungle in one day (on a bike)

Janet loves the jungle!!
The Amazon Jungle in South America is a must. One bottle of mosquito repellent is vital. I Finished a bottle in one week. You have flocks/herds/swarms/packs/pods of mozzies swarming towards you. If you manage to cover up really well, they still find a ...
2 cm from an alligator
We had be warned that the bus journey to Rurrenbaque was almost not worth enduring in order to reach the pampas that awaits on the edge of the Amazonian jungle... 18-22 hours on a ramshackle bus, and along the world´s most dangerous road, was nothing to ...
Buzzing around Bolivia
... weren't the public but riot police. Though I am not sure if that is better or worse...regardless I did feel pretty safe. Bolivia is definitely cheaper than Peru and by far the cheapest place I have been to since leaving Asia. Presumably that's why we ...
Watching the River Flow: Rurrenabaque & the Pampas
... age of the average tourist here, went for the most expensive option, not a big splurge given that we are in dirt cheap Bolivia. We booked a world-renown jungle lodge, Chalalan, which turned out to be well worth every bolivar. We connected with the ...
Welcome to the Jungle
... times. A helper from Mapajo Lodge, where we were staying in the jungle, gathered us up and helped us on to the bus. Rurrenbaque, or Rurre as it´s known, is a sleepy little town along the River Beni where it joins with another large river. ´Sleepy´ ...
Amazon dreams
... on a dusty winding road then a quick lunch before catching the overnight bus to La Paz where we jumped straight on the bus to Rurrenbaque, this part was nineteen hours and this time on ¨the most dangerous road in the world¨. Didn´t take the claim too ...
La Paz, "The Devil City"
... I almost missed the boat across all of which made for a fucking mad half hour. Eventually we arrived in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, to the fourth and final Loki, the craziest yet. We´d planned to stay in the city for two nights, but the alcohol was ...
Welcome to the jungle!
Why is it hard to play cards in the jungle? There are too many cheetahs! There are so many companies that do trips out to the jungle and an area called the pampas from La Paz, it’s really difficult to choose. So we decided to whittle them down ...
The jungle is massive
Jungle tour Still not completely satisfied with the jungle experiences we had had, Phil still wanted to go trekking into the Amazon jungle and literally be in the thick of things. So straight from our Pamaps trip, along with Kate and Tess we had met, we ...
The Pampas Rurrenbaque
... from Belgium, Netherlands, Finland and Ireland. We all got on famously well and had many beers upon our return to Rurrenbaque. Bert and Jurgen were 2 lads from Belgium who reminded us of models with their tall slender bodies and long curly locks. Then ...
In the Amazon with our Pajamas on
... some…… We headed back to town and went out for a few drinks that evening before getting our flight the following day. Rurrenbaque doesn’t have any banks but we had worked out our money pretty well (or so we had thought) to ensure we had ...
La Paz to Rurrenabque
We got to the airport only to find they had changed our flight to 1pm instead of 11am. Amazonas airline have a reputation of just cancelling flights or moving passengers on to other flights so a 2hr delay wasn't too bad. The airport café also had wifi ...
Bolivian Jungle Fever
... After trying to get out of La Paz by boat and by bus to the jungle, we finally decided to fly to Rurrenbaque. Bolivians are world class at disrupting transportation through road blocks. We heard various stories about this particular protest and still ...

Plans have changed
... did not stop at red lights, at all... and we actually had to swerve twice to not get into a collision. Somehow, it looked like Rurrenbaque just didn't want me. After getting to the airport, I found the first flight was sold out (of course it ...
Amazon Basin
After Sucre we headed to La Paz on an overnight bus to then get onto a plane the same day to Rurrenbaque. The plane was a Fairchild 227 (for those Plane geeks out there) and it was tiny, we couldn´t even stand up in it! Of course we travelled in seats 1A ...
Bolivia: Rurrenbaque (Jungle)
As there were no flights (due to the rain in Rurrenbaque - the planes couldn´t land as the runway is a field!). We opted for what was sold as a 10 hour jeep ride - much better than the 17 hour bus ride. The road is really scenic but very ...
Return from Rurrenbaque
... with a delayed flight (because of poor weather) but were lucky enough to make it out of La Paz after a 6 hour wait. Rurrenbaque turned out to be a refreshing change with much greenery and balmy nights to sip a cocktail or two... After a spaghetti ...

so i arrived via small plane today into Rurrenbaque. This is a really small town that is basically a jump-off for jungle trips which are offered everywhere. The day started great, caught a ride on the back of a motorcycle, found the airlines to check in ...
Welcome to The Jungle
La Paz to Rurrenabaque (Rurre) was an interesting journey to say the least. We had not been warned but it seemed everyone we have met since knew the horrors of the journey. Ok, so let us start by saying the bus is supposed to take just 16 hours from ...
Allemaal Beestjes
Dé Urban Legend bij uitstek over de Boliviaanse jungle die we hier regelmatig hebben opgevangen, kan ik jullie natuurlijk niet onthouden: Een toeriste uit de USA valt tijdens een jungletocht van een houten trapje en heeft een oppervlakkige schaafwond ...
