- Air Tickets La Paz - Rurrenabaque - La Paz

La Paz Arrival. City tour visiting the most interesting places in La Paz, typical places like the Witches Market, artisanal markets, the colonial calle Jaén with its impressive, residential areas of the south and the well known Moon Valley , where erosion has given place to the most exotic and curious surface forms.

Next day, excursion to Tiwanku archaeological place. It was the center of a powerful, self-sustaining empire. The roots of the Tiahuanaco capital can be found in the early village underlying the 1.5-square-mile civic-ceremonial core. The city was settled by 400 B. C. on the Tiahuanaco River, which empties into Lake Titicaca 9.3 miles to the north. The small farming village evolved into a regal city of multi-terraced platform pyramids, courts and urban areas, covering a total 2.31 square miles.

Traditionally it is thought to have been built by the predecessors of the Inca Civilization over 2,000 years ago. It is a mysterious ruined city of extremely ancient origins.

Then a flight will take to Rurrenabaque, the town where the 4 day tour to the Madidi National Park starts.

Madidi is one of the most biologically diverse protected areas on the planet. The park is home to over 1,000 bird species, representing a whopping 11% of the world’s 9,000 bird species. Madidi contains large populations of Latin America’s most charismatic wildlife species: jaguar, spectacled bear, maned wolf, vicuña, giant otter, Andean condor and military macaw, among others. The newly discovered monkey species lives in Madidi and nowhere else.

Madidi is also culturally and historically important. The Madidi landscape is home to at least seven indigenous groups, as well as more recent mestizo and colonist arrivals.

More plant and animal species grace Bolivia’s new Madidi National Park than any other preserve in South America.
