Amboró National Park

Amboró National Park is a protected area in Bolivia located where the eastern Andean slopes meet lowland Amazonia, noted for very high biodiversity and habitat variety. The park spans montane cloud forest, subtropical and lowland rainforest across a large altitudinal range.

The park contains extensive forested slopes, river valleys and a mosaic of habitats that support hundreds of species of plants and animals; it is an important destination for birdwatching and biodiversity study. Terrain ranges from foothills to high forested ridges, offering trails of differing difficulty for visitors.

Amboró was created as a protected area to conserve the biologically rich transition zone between Andes and Amazon and has been expanded and managed to protect its ecosystems. Conservation efforts reflect the park’s role in preserving endemic and regionally rare species.

The park is located in Santa Cruz Department in eastern Bolivia, positioned on the eastern flank of the Andes and linking higher Andean terrain to Amazonian lowlands. Access is typically from regional towns that serve as gateways to the national park.

• Access points: Access to park trails and lower-elevation sections is typically arranged from nearby towns such as Buena Vista and Samaipata, which are common entry points for visitors.
