Bolivia is one of South America’s most rewarding yet least-explored birding destinations. Though landlocked, it offers astonishing contrasts: from the snow-capped peaks of the Andes and the vast windswept altiplano, to fertile valleys, lush Yungas cloudforests, and the remote lowlands of Santa Cruz.

With over 1,300 bird species recorded, Bolivia holds more than 40% of the continent’s avifauna. Among its treasures are the majestic Andean Condor, the dazzling endemic Black-hooded Sunbeam, the rare and recently described Diademed Tapaculo, and one of the world’s most beautiful parrots, the Red-fronted Macaw, which survives only in the dramatic cliffs of the Río Mizque valley.

Our birding journeys reveal an extraordinary diversity of habitats:

• Santa Cruz & Chaco lowlands – with rheas, seriemas, and regional specialties.
• Serranía de Siberia cloudforests – home to the elusive Rufous-faced Antpitta.
• Arid inter-Andean valleys – stronghold of the last wild Red-fronted Macaws.
• Altiplano & Lake Titicaca – with unique high-Andean endemics like the Titicaca Grebe.
• The Yungas near La Paz – a rich transition of Andean and subtropical birdlife.
