What makes Amboro National Park unique?

Amboro is truly a jungle paradise. Three distinct ecosystems meet in Bolivia’s Amboro National Park- the foothills of the Andes, the northern Chaco, and the Amazon Basin. Nowhere else in the world do three such diverse environments converge.

Amboro is one of the most botanically rich and wildlife abundant national parks in the world; over 2,659 species of plants, 177 types of mammals, 135 varieties of reptiles and 173 kinds of amphibians reside in the Park. With over 830 species of birds, it shelters more than 60 per cent of the country’s bird population. The botanical survey of the Park remains incomplete till date because of the difficult terrain and lack of infrastructure. Therefore, chances are likely that more species might be discovered in future.
