Explore the Yungas and the Bolivian Amazon

Six chapters of one week of nature from La Paz: ask the Villa Fátima minibus office how the road down to Coroico is today, take the minibus into the warm green Yungas and meet Nadia, book a remote eco-cabaña and ask about power, signal and mosquito nets, message the Selva Air office about the small plane and what happens if the weather cancels, ask Don Wilson the pampas-vs-selva difference and the wildlife rules, and close by telling family before you go off-grid, asking every step, watching wildlife at a distance, never claiming a road safe.

Down and down, into the green 🌿
  1. Ask the road down

    Start in La Paz by asking the Villa Fátima minibus office how the road to Coroico is today, ¿se puede pasar?, ¿hay derrumbes?, conditions asked and confirmed locally, never assumed and never called safe or dangerous.

  2. Can we get through today?← You are here

    In La Paz, before heading down to Coroico, ask the Villa Fátima minibus office how the road is today, can we get through, are there landslides.

    Start chapter 1

  3. Getting the minibus down to Coroico

    At the Villa Fátima terminal, find the Coroico minibus by asking, confirm the fare and the front seat with the chofer, and meet Nadia on the way down.

  4. The cabaña: power, signal and mosquitoes

    Book a remote eco-cabaña over WhatsApp, ask about the price, electricity hours, phone signal, mosquito nets, and whether it’s cash only.

  5. The small plane to Rurrenabaque

    Message the Selva Air office before booking the small plane, the time, the fare, the luggage limit, and what happens if the weather cancels.

  6. Pampas or jungle?

    Ask Don Wilson the difference between the pampas and selva tours, the wildlife rule, and what to bring, the choice stays yours.

  7. No signal: tell them first

    Tell family before you go off-grid, reassure them no news is fine, and give a calm plan-B update when the return flight is weather-cancelled.

  8. The Amazon and the no-signal close

    Finish having asked Don Wilson the pampas-vs-selva difference and the wildlife rules, watched the wildlife at a distance, and told family before going off-grid, then handled a weather-cancelled flight calmly with a plan-B update.
