Bolivia - Highlands

We travelled with Naturetrek on the Lowlands and then Highlands Bolivia tours in October 2016. This was an incredible holiday with amazing scenery from rainforest to mountains. We saw over 300 species of birds in just over a fortnight with excellent guiding to help us find the Bolivian rarities. The holiday was like an expedition across the country and we experienced a lot of local life and stayed in some fantastic places. We came home exhausted but glad we'd been somewhere so different and had such a wonderful time.

We are keen birders & booked a 2 part trip to Bolivia; the Lowlands with a guide/driver joining 2 other birders for the Highland tour with same guide plus a driver. All pre-departure arrangements were efficiently & clearly communicated, including a detailed itinerary with birding opportunities identified. The guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dedicated to birding. He also ensured our general questions were answered, was very good humoured & made himself available to ensure our comfort & safety. The holiday covered a good number of varied habitats enabling us to see 420 species of bird in countryside ranging from 1,200 - 4,300 metres altitude. The road travel was reduced by one internal flight and the guide had chosen the road route to maximise the opportunity to cover both number & rarity of species. It was an excellent dedicated birding holiday which we enjoyed to the full.

Just to let you know how much I enjoyed the Highlands tour. The birds found by Willie were brilliant and his driver Leo was a skilled driver who made me feel safe. The standard of accommodation and food were also excellent.

Nick was the best leader I've ever experienced and I've been on many birding trips... his birding knowledge and skills are without parallel. His leadership skills particularly were second to none.

Nick and Leo worked very hard... they deserve high praise.

S.H. & M.B.

I very much enjoyed the tour and saw about 270 species of bird. The leader was excellent... his knowledge of the birds and their songs probably gave us more species than anticipated.

Overall the holiday was excellent with plenty of birds seen (approx 270 species). The guide was excellent, particularly due to his recognition of bird calls which pinpointed where to look and for what.

D.R. Worcestershire

The trip was very well organised, the staff excellent, and the itinerary well chosen and planned... Many thanks for a lovely trip & please pass on our good wishes to the leader and driver.

I chose this holiday for the chance to see the natural history of the Bolivian Highlands, and wasn't disappointed. Visits to various habitats gave the opportunity for this, especially to look at the flora, of which I am particularly interested. In addition the ornithological & cultural aspects were excellent. The organisation & daily content were very good...The leader was extremely knowledgeable & competent, and high praise must go to our driver, who was always obliging and caring...Thank you for another most enjoyable Naturetrek holiday.
