Private Los Yungas Region Tour

On this 8–9-hour tour, you will visit the subtropical area of Los Yungas. The region is characterized by its exuberant vegetation, its many rivers and waterfalls leading to the Amazon basin, and its diverse flora and fauna. In Los Yungas, considered one of the country’s richest eco-regions, a huge variety of crops such as coffee, corn, banana, citrus, and coca is grown.  After arrival in Yolosa, there is a visit to La Senda Verde, a unique Wildlife Refuge. This project started in 2003 as a typical ecotourism lodge, but soon after, in 2004 the founders started rescuing the first animals, a capuchin monkey and two parrots. La Senda Verde has now become the safe haven for over 450 animals, among which are many monkeys, birds, two Andean Bears, turtles and snakes. After “Senda Verde” and “Aruma Bear” Tour (Combo Tour) the trip continues to the Café Munaipata (near Coroico) where lunch is served. Munaipata is a small coffee company that only utilises locally and organically produced coffee, therefore promoting local and sustainable practices. After lunch, there is a short visit to the coffee plantations before returning to La Paz.
