Nacional Noel Kempff
Un viaje A Los Fierros Parque Nacional Noel Kempff, perfectamente podria ser un viaje a uno de los últimos lugares en el mundo donde todavía es una una reserva intacta en el gran sentido de la palabra. El Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado es una visita obligada para los amantes de la naturaleza y la gente que gusta de los animales de la zona. Debido al hecho de que el parque es bastante remoto y se ha convertido en un área protegida, hay una rica flora y fauna.
El parque Noel Kempff fue añadido a la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO en 2000. Esto gracias a los diferentes tipos de hábitat que van desde la sabana y el bosque amazónico en la meseta. Diferentes ríos se originan en el parque y forman espectaculares cascadas. Unas 4000 especies de flora, más de 620 especies de aves, más de 130 especies de especies, incluyendo animales en peligro de extinción, viven en el parque.
En el Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado viven jaguares, londras , tapires, y muchos animales. El 20% de las especies de aves de América del Sur se pueden encontrar aquí, incluyendo 9 especies de aras, el mayor número de especies en un área protegida. Además, hay 37 especies de reptiles, incluyendo el caiman negro y 347 insectos, muchos de los cuales están entre los más raros del mundo.
Los tours al parque Noel Kempf Mercado, especialmente al lado sur son dificiles. Pero si a usted realmente le interesa visitarlo pongase en contacto Amboro Tours. En caso de preguntar por por este destino en otras agencia u operadore casi seguero que le diran que este paque esta cerrado al turismo.
Las principales atracciones son la Meserta de Caparú y La Laguna Chaplin. Laguna Chaplin es un destino nuevo.
El unico grupo que llego a este destino fue en Agosto del 2015
En estos dias los visitantes en son de eco-turismo en el Parque Noel Kempf son muy pocos (Almenos en la parte sur) en parte debido a las condiciones de acceso y por lo tanto al presupuesto necesario para poder constear un tour organizado a este destino ya que los caminos para vehiculos y senderos estan desapareciendo o han desaparecido
Ecoturismo Parque Nacional Noel Kempf Mercado Parte Sur
El acceso por la comunidad de Florida por vía terrestre dependia del ponton, puentes, y arboles en el camino dentro del parque,
La mayor atracción de este lugar puede ser la Meseta Caparu y el mismo acceso que se tiene a ella con la posibilidad de pernoctar en una de las muchas islas de selva.
La Cascada El Encanto. Siempre fue una aventura llegar a este destino especialmete en epoca de lluvias Pero ahora es una mision casi imposible por la inexistencia del camino para vehiculos. En estos tiempos la mejor opcion seria por la meseta.
Laguna Chaplin. Recientemente redescubierta por Amboro Tours es otra gran atraccion de este parque disponible para aquellos visitantes con reales ganas de aventura y trekking en condiones duras
En este lado sur del parque la selva se torna mas Amazónica que en el lado Norte. Durante los recorridos el visitante podrá notar los
diferentes hábitats por los diferentes tipos de bosques, pampas otros.
La observación de mamíferos tiene mucho que ver con las condiciones del momento; es decir la época del año y el lugar donde se vaya, esto por los frutos que algunos mamíferos buscan. Al haber concentración de una especie de mamíferos existe la posibilidad que un depredador natural carnívoro también vaya al mismo lugar.
Los grandes felinos son algo frecuente aquí, antes lo eran mucho más pero por alguna razón ya no se muestran con mucha facilidad. Pero muchas veces salen a los caminos a refrescarse o a seguir rastros de visitantes u otros.
Las acomodaciones o cabañas de Los Fierros ya no son tales por que la falta de mantenimiento y cuidado la tienen en condiciones
de casi total destrucion.
El unico lodge disponible y actualmente activo es Refugio Huanchaca.

Los Fierros Parque Nacional Noel Kempff
Via Aerea
Refugio H. – Meseta Caparu
1st Day
At 08:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel or residence in order to take you to a private airfield or to small airport where we will board a single-engine airplane, which will fly us to the Southern side of the Noel Kempf Mercado Park.
It is advisable to make use of the hygienic installations before boarding the airplane.
At the beginning of the two-hour flight, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the city of Santa Cruz from the air, and after the first 40 minutes, we will be able to notice the devastation caused by the agriculture on the Northeastern areas, mostly for the plantations of soy and sunflower.
After the first hour of flight, we will be above the town of Concepción, which is part of the Jesuitical Missions of the Chiquitania.
In 30 more minutes of flight, we will notice how the exuberant green mantle becomes denser.
We will be landing inside Noel Kempf Mercado National park at “Refugio Huanchaca” after approximately 2 hours of flight.
After a short relaxing at Refugio Huancha time we get ready to departure in a vehicle towards Caparu plateau.
The point that we plan to go on a vehicle is about 27 Kilometers away from Refugio Hanchaca lodge. At this point is where the road get into the forest and we should continue on foot.
Once start the trip by land leaving Refugio, The first 5 kilometers crosses a part of forest. And then for about 22 kilometers it goes on a land of pampas.
These pampas get overflowed on raining seasons. But during dry season the pampas very dried and easily may get on fire
The heat in this area is very high and the temperature gets to 43 centigrades grades or more
In dry season during any trips it is necessary to carry enough water. Because it may be hard to find it down the road,
On the pampas there are a lot of chance of spotting some mammals like; giant ant eaters, deer, jaguars and others.
Once we get to the end of the road in las pampas we should start hiking. This first hike should be done for about 10 kms or to the first or second stream with water.
Once in the right place we set up the tent
During this walk there are some parts with big chances of watching some mammals like Giant Armadillo
Close by this camping site and after a walk at night of about 30 minutes we may find glowing termites during the months of October or November.
During some months of the year the activity of moths is very annoying
Overnight in the forest in tents
2nd Day
From this point it takes approximately 2 hours to hike to the base of the plateau
During this hike, we need to have our senses alert in order to listen to, smell or see interesting particularities of this jungle.
We also need to pay attention to the gradual change from forest of high trees to very low vegetation.
the visitors must beware of the thorns and tips of the branches in many sections of the paths within the park.
Once we reach the base of the plateau, if it is hot or still it is not evening we should not be in this place longer than thirty minutes.
The ideal time to arrive at this place known as “Las Lajas” is in the dusk, because during the day and with the presence of people, very annoying bees (especially for the eyes) begin to arrive at the place.
But this time we are only resting in Las Lajas for about 20 minutes
Depending on the time of arrival to Las Lajas and on the conditions that we are, we will climb the plateau on this day or we will leave it for the following day early in the morning.
After the rest we proceed on our hiking to caparuch plateau
The ascent to the plateau is a rustic footpath in zigzag, steep and almost without any vegetation to cover us from the sun, which is why the conditions of the ascent can be unfriendly,
Especially if there is not enough wind and the sun is strong. In any case, it is necessary to be in good physical condition for this part of the trip,
But as we climb the view of the forest of the park becomes wider and the immense “Chaplin” lake can be seen amidst the exuberant vegetation.
Likewise, depending on the time of ascent, we will have the opportunity to see the Blue-and-Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) sometimes flying at a lower height from us.
Once on top of the plateau, we will have a hike of about one hour in order to appreciate the view of the waved green landscape
spotted with virgin forest, water streams and palm trees.
If we are lucky enough, we will be able to see deer, or even the macaws nesting in palms that are about 30 minutes away from the edge of the plateau.
Hiking to others edges of the plateau caparucú, nearby we can appreciate different views of green forest around us
You can program a longer visit to the plateau, because after one hour and a half hiking on top of the plateau is possible to get the a part of the plateau covered with a beautiful jungle and to a place where Amboro Tours used to set up the tents next to a nice stream
In this place is possible to see monkeys and others mammals.
From this point, that used to be or still is the camping site on top of the plateau. It was possible to do some trekking in the pampas for about 40 minute to a beautiful natural pool.
on the way to this pool we will see a burned motorcycle
Both the motorcycle and the airplane used to belong to a drug factory installed in forest nearby where still is possible to see some remains of it.
A well-known bolivian conservationists named Noel Kempf Mercado was killed in the airfield of one of these factories on top of Caparuch plateau when his small plane landed with a team of nature researchers. It happened the 5th of September of 1986.
Besides of Noel kempf Mercado also were killed at the same time, Juan Cochamanidis, Franklin Parada Auclos. Vicente Castelló, a Spaniard scientist, was the only survivor.
Getting back on our itinerary. And because this program does not include more days and after about one or one hour and a half on top of caparuch, we should return by the same footpath. On the way down hill we must take care of loosen stones.
We arrive at Las Lajas This is a camping spot next to a small stream. It located in the bottom of the Plateau
Overnight in Las Lajas
3rd Day
Early in the morning breakfast. Then we should keep hiking to the place where we left the vehicle to return to Refugio Huanchaca
The hiking distance of today to the vehicle is approximately 12 or 15 kilometers.
We should be arriving to Refugio Huanchaca at end of the day
Dinner and overnight in Refugio Huanchaca
After lunch we have to fly back to the City of Santa Cruz.
Once we arrive in the city a vehicle will take you to your hotel

Excursion in to Noel Kempf Mercado National park – South Side – Laguna Chaplin Lake
At the beginning of the two-hour flight, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the city of Santa Cruz from the air, and after the first 40 minutes, we will be able to notice the devastation caused by the agriculture on the Northeastern areas, mostly for the plantations of soy and sunflower.

After leaving Refugio Huanchaca, the first 5 kilometers the road crosses a part of forest And then for about 29 kilometers it goes on a land of pampas.
These pampas get overflowed on raining seasons. But during dry season are very dried and easily may get on fire

In dry season, during It is necessary to carry plenty of water. Because it may be hard to find it in long distances
After 29 kilometers the road leave las pampas behind to enter the jungle for about 3 kilometers to pass by Los Fierros. Be aware that sometimes we may have to walk without a path
In these last 3 kilometers to Los Fierros is possible to find many logs blocking the road or almost no road.. And also there is an old bridge in not good conditions. Also about the last 10 kms in las pampas may be cover with vegetation
Due to these reasons it may be a better idea to leave the vehicle 10 or more kms away from Los Fierros.

El Encanto y Meseta Caparu
(Comunidad De Florida)
1st Day
At 08:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel or residence in order to take you to a small air-plane runway or airport where we will board a small single-engine air plane, which will fly us to the Southern side of the Noel Kempff Mercado Park. It is advisable to make use of the hygienic installations before boarding the air plane.
We will land at “Los Fierros” or at Florida runway after approximately 2 hours of flight. It will depend mainly on the conditions of the airfield of Los Fierros
At the beginning of the two-hour flight, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the city of Santa Cruz from the air, and after the first 40 minutes, we will be able to notice the devastation caused by the agriculture on the Northeastern areas, mostly for the plantations of soy and sunflower.
After the first 30 minutes of flight, we will be above the town of Concepción, which is part of the Jesuitical Missions of the Chiquitania.
After other 30 minutes of flight, we will notice how the exuberant green mantle becomes denser, and after 60 minutes, we will be above the virgin jungle of the park.
Once we are above the park, we will head towards the “El Encanto” (The Enchantment) waterfall, over which we will fly in order to take photographs of it from different angles in order to obtain better pictures; then we will fly at a lower altitude over the prairies of the impressive landscape of the “Meseta” (Plateau) . This is about 7 minutes before landing.
After landing, either in Los Fierros or in Florida, a 4WD vehicle will be waiting for us by the landing strip, along with the driver and/or the Tour-Coordinator in order to proceed with this excursion. After lunch we will continue this adventure on the ground.
If we land in the run way of Los Fierros we will continue on the vehicle directly to El Encanto waterfall or to Caparu plateau. It will depend on the weather and/or other access conditions and also on the available time on that day.
If we have had to land in the run way of the community of Florida, then we have to go through the park ranger site to register our names and then we have to cross the Paragua river on a flat boat and drive about 2 hours or more (it depends on the conditions of the path) in order to reach Los Fierros.
Florida is a nice village surrounded by the forest by an oxbow of Paragua River. It has nearly 20 families or less because the population is decreasing due to the immigration of the youth people to San Ignacio or to Santa Cruz.
From Los Fierros, if we decide to visit the “El Encanto” cascade first, the next campsite is about 35 Kilometers (21.7 Miles) away, it is approximately two hours by vehicle from the “Los Fierros” cabins or run way. We might be able to arrive with the vehicle to this campsite known as El Encanto Camp, or we might have to walk a few (10) Kilometers in order to arrive at this point. The exact distance we might have to walk is unknown. It is depending on the conditions of the road, bridges and/or fallen trees in the way. Anyways, if the path is in optimum conditions, the vehicle will only be able to arrive at the El Encanto Camp, which is 5 Kilometers (3 Miles) away from the cascade.
During the trip, either by vehicle or hiking the trails, we must keep our ears in alert in order to listen to the sounds of the forest and have more possibilities of observing the wildlife, like Macaws, monkeys or larger mammals such as the Tapir, and if we are very lucky we may even see a Jaguar.
Once we are in El Encanto Camp, we can continue our walk to the waterfall on this first day, or we may have to do this on the next day, this will depend on the available time for this part of the excursion.
We will spend the night at the El Encanto Camp or at Los Fierros, depending on the road and bridges conditions as said before.
2nd Day
Wherever we have slept the night before, we will arise very early in the morning to have breakfast. If we had already visited the cascade on the previous day, we will head directly to the “Caparú” plateau. Again the vehicle will go as far as possible, and this depends one more time on the conditions of the bridges and the trees fallen in the way, although it is usually possible to drive until the end of the vehicle´s road, and in this case we will only walk for two hours until the base of the plateau.
During this hike, we must keep our senses in alert to be able to hear, smell or see the interesting particularities of this place. We also need to pay a lot of attention to the gradual change from the jungle of high trees to lower vegetation. After the two-hour hike, we will arrive at “Las Lajas”, where we will take a brief rest, since in the daytime, after a short permanence of people in this place, some tiny bees, although very annoying ones (especially for the eyes), start to arrive.
After our hike towards the base of the mesa, the tough ascent to the top of the plateau starts. The difficulty of this will depend on the sunlight and heat at the moment of the ascent. In any case, it is necessary to have a good physical condition. Those who do not feel well to continue can stay in a small brook in this place, resting while waiting for an animal to come.
During the ascent to the top, the view of the jungle below in the prairie becomes wider, enabling us to see the famous and enormous “Chaplin” lake among the exuberant vegetation. It is also possible to observe birds such as the Macaws, flying below our level.
Once at the top of the plateau, we will have a one-hour hike enjoying the wavy green panorama spotted with virgin jungle, brooks and palm trees, and if we are lucky enough, we will be able to see some deer and/or Yellow-and-Blue Macaws (Ara ararauna). They nest in some palm trees located 30 minutes away from the trail that leads to the top of the plateau.
After this experience, we will start our descent to the base of the plateau and to the vehicle. Depending on the unfolding of the program so far and the arrangements previously made in the offices of Amboró Tours in Santa Cruz….
At night there is a possibility of a short nocturnal Safari with lanterns.
Spend the night at the base of the mesa or at Los Fierros.
3rd Day
In case we wake up near Los Fierros, we will leave at 05:00 on the vehicle with the spot- light in order to see some more of the wildlife in the Noel Kempff Park. We can also use this day to visit the El Encanto cascade, in case we did not have enough time to have visited it on the first day.
This day is very necessary, if we are to climb the plateau in two days; that is, walking to the base of the plateau (Las Lajas) in the afternoon to spend the night there in tents, and early in the morning on the next day, hike to the top. The activities of this third day will depend on how fast the itinerary was performed in the previous two days.
Depending on where we spend the night, the night of the third day can also be used to drive the vehicle with its halogen lights in the surroundings of Los Fierros, looking for animals. We can also use this night for a nocturnal hike with flashlights on open trails.
4th Day
Very early in the morning, before sunrise and breakfast, we will take a short hike or go in the vehicle by the main path that leads to the Paraguá River. After lunch, we will leave this wonderful park in order to board the single-engine airplane that will fly us back to Santa Cruz, where a vehicle will be waiting for us to take us to our respective places.
End of our Noel Kempf Tours service. Thanks.

This trip will be done on a paved road until the town of Concepción, passing by several towns and villages of migrants people from the high lands of Bolivia and Mennonites colonies. This trip is crossing an agricultural area, which grows soybean, sunflower, and several types of other grains.

UNESCO declared this magnificent park as a patrimony of the humanity in the year 2000.
In the trip from Santa Rosa de la Roca to this village, we will have the opportunity to live a different trip, perhaps to which most of those attracted to parks are accustomed to, since the roads are unpaved and very dusty in the dry season,
During the raining season this road is in some parts very muddy sometimes it presents great difficulties to be transited by vehicles.
Also we will also find fallen trees on the way or trailers trucks stuck in the mud of the road.
On raining season is normal to find small lakes in the middle of the road
We will stop on the way a few minutes for pictures or others reasons. But not longer than approximately 20 minutes, because we can fall prey to an amount of bees that becomes unbearable and of course the mosquitoes will be inevitable guests at night.
As we approach the park, the vegetation becomes greener and the forests improve; therefore, the opportunities to encounter wild life also increase. Although the depredation by timber companies in areas of forest concessions is quite noticeable, with great grief for those of us who appreciate nature without human destruction.
We will arrive at the village of Florida at the end of the day or in the evening.
This village is a nice place surrounded by forest and by a oxbow lake of the Paragua River. It has nearly 20 families or less. The population is decreasing due to the immigration of the youth people to San Ignacio or to Santa Cruz.
About one year ago, the mayoralty of San Ignacio has provided a diesel engine for the generation of electricity, so this engine used to work almost every night approximately from 19:00 to 22:00.
The service of pipe water at home is not yet installed. The huts that serve as lodging have palm or grass as roof.
The lodgings places have toilet, but the water system does not work yet, so it is necessary use a bucket with water to flush toilets. The showers still does not work.
But the oxbow lake next to the community although with some crocodiles, caimans and piranhas it is the place where people of the community wash their clothes and take a bath, so we can do the same.
In Florida you may find brasilian and bolivian beer to buy, but it is very hard if not impossible to find some things from outside to eat or for personal use.
Supper and spend the night in the village.
3irdDay
After breakfast, we will visit the park ranger site to register our names. Later, we will head towards the crossing point to get on he other side of the Paragua river which is the natural border of the park.
Some time ago we used to operate a big flat boat to get the vehicle across the river. Nowadays this flat boat is not working. So it is necessary to get something else to cross the river.
Once on the other side of the river we will be inside the territory of Noel Kempff park. We will then continue our trip by foot or by motorcycles, On the path there are some wooden bridges in very bad conditions, although some or most of them were repaired in august 2009.
when we are walking on the bridges we have to be very care full with the broken parts of it.
The last excursions to the inside of the park in vehicles was about in the year 2013. And we had to carry our own wood to fix the old bridges
During this walk there are some parts with big chances of watching some mammals like river otters and others
This trail with fallen trees blocking the way used to be the only road for vehicles that some years ago was opened.
Nowadays the best is to enter the park on foot. It is a long hiking from the border of the park to Los Fierros.
Los Fierros cabins are some 35 kms away from the border of the park. This roads is abandoned and the vegetation on both sides has closed the way in some parts.
the visitors must beware of the thorns and tips of the branches in many sections of the paths within the park.
During this hiking it is also very probable to find some animals crossing or walking the path; these animals can be peccaries, coatis, “tayras” or deers
It was usual to see a jaguar or a puma, on this road they like to freshen up by lying on the way.
The turkeys and macaws or “guacamayos” are other animals that we will have the opportunity to see in these paths through the park.
About 2 kilometers before reaching Los Fierros Cabins we get to what used to be the airfield of Los Fierros. Amboro Tours used to clean up this airfield every year to have it operable.
Once in the camping site of Los Fierros cabins we we should prepare or find a place where to set up the tents.
The cabins are useless, them are full of tiny ants that may get into your tents really easy depending on the the tent.
Amboro Tours recommends to bring about half liter of diesel so you are able to set up your tent on the ceramic of the cabins.
Be aware that the roof of the cabins may fall down any time. Also be aware of wasps nets, they love to live in some parts of this old cabins
There is a stream about 800 meters for Los Fierros but it is necessary to open the path with machetes Dinner and overnight in Los Fierros
4th Day
After breakfast we have to get ready to keep hiking or if we have a motorcycle we should get on the bikes to keep going on towards the Caparu (caparuch) Plateau.
Around Los Fierros and in most places in this part of the park there are thousands of bees on activity as soon as the the day warm up
From Los Fierros Caparau plateau is some 20 kilometers away crossing the seasonal overflowed pampas
The times when a vehicle could get to this part of the park the road was full of water on rain season
After the pampas the path gets us back into the forest for some times.
Nowadays the last five or more kilometers of this path should be full of vegetation blocking it.
This day we will get as far as we can on our way to Caparuch plateau. It is more likely that we would have to stay overnight by a stream Up to where the vehicles used to get.
Close by this camping site and after a walk at night of about 30 minutes in the path and in the forest at night we can find this glowing termites during the months of October or November. They do this to attract other insect.
During some months of the year the activity of moths is very annoying
Assuming that we stay overnight by this stream.
5th Day
From this point it takes approximately 2 hours to hike to the base of the plateau.
During this hike, we need to have our senses alert in order to listen to, smell or see interesting particularities of this jungle.
We also need to pay attention to the gradual change from forest of high trees to very low vegetation.
Once we reach the base of the plateau, if it is hot or still it is not evening we should not be in this place longer than thirty minutes.
The ideal time to arrive at this place known as “Las Lajas” is in the dusk, because during the day and with the presence of people, very annoying bees (especially for the eyes) begin to arrive at the place.
But this time we are only resting in Las Lajas for about 20 minutes
Depending on the time of arrival to Las Lajas and on the conditions that we are, we will climb the plateau on this day or we will leave it for the following day early in the morning.
After the rest we proceed on our hiking to caparuch plateau
The ascent to the plateau is a rustic footpath in zigzag, steep and almost without any vegetation to cover us from the sun, which is why the conditions of the ascent can be unfriendly,
Especially if there is not enough wind and the sun is strong. In any case, it is necessary to be in good physical condition for this part of the trip,
But as we climb the view of the forest of the park becomes wider and the immense “Chaplin” lake can be seen amidst the exuberant vegetation.
Likewise, depending on the time of ascent, we will have the opportunity to see the Blue-and-Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) sometimes flying at a lower height from us.
Once on top of the plateau, we will have a hike of about one hour in order to appreciate the view of the waved green landscape
spotted with virgin forest, water streams and palm tree.
If we are lucky enough, we will be able to see deer, or even the macaws nesting in palms that are about 30 minutes away from the edge of the plateau.
Hiking to others edges of the plateau caparuch, near by we can appreciate different views of green forest around us
You can program a longer visit to the plateau, because after one hour and a half hiking on top of the plateau is possible to get the a part of the plateau covered with a beautiful jungle and to a place where Amboro Tours used to set up the tents next to a nice stream
In this place is possible to see monkeys and others mammals.
From this point, that used to be or still is the camping site on top of the plateau. It was possible to do some trekking in the pampas for about 40 minute to a beautiful natural pool.
on the way to this pool we will see a burned motorcycle and a short distance away we also can see parts of a small crashed airplane.
Both the motorcycle and the airplane used to belong to a drug factory installed in forest near by where still is possible to see some remains of it.
A well known bolivian conservationists named Noel Kempf Mercado was killed in the airfield of one of these factories on top of Caparuch plateau when his small plane landed with a team of nature researchers. It happened the 5th of September of 1986.
Besides of Noel kempf Mercado also were killed at the same time, Juan Cochamanidis, Franklin Parada Auclos. Vicente Castelló, a Spaniard scientist, was the only survivor.
Getting back on our itinerary and because this program does not include more days and after about one or one hour and a half on top of caparuch, we should return by the same footpath. On the way down hill we must take care of loosen stones.
We arrive at Las Lajas and proceed towards Los Fierros.
During the hikings we always have big chances of watchin some exotict birds
And bing or small groups o spider monkeys
overnight some where next to a steam
6th Day
This way is entirely to hike to Los Fierros.
The hiking distance of today is approximately 20 kilometers.
One in Los Fierros we can take a bath in the stream near by.
Until the year 2010 (approximately) the road for vehicles to El Encanto Waterfall was open or was possible to get to the end of the road for vehicle with some difficulties.
From Los Fierros it is about 25 kilometers El Encanato waterfall.
On this road we almost always had to chop many logs fallen on the way specially on raining season or because in months nobody else wanted to mess with this troubles
At the end of the road for vehicles there used to be a small hut where we used to set up the tents.
From this point we had to do some trekking of 5 kilometers to reach the waterfall
On the way we had to cross the same steam twice, some times on raining season it was a bit hard but beautiful
Dinner and overnight in Los Fierros
7th Day
After breakfast in Los Fierros, we should start hiking to Florida Community. Florida is about 38 kilometers away from Los Fierros.
On this day at about 5::00 some one from Florida is supposed to come for us with a boat and motorcycles to help us to get to Florida
Dinner and overnight in Florida
8th Day
After breakfast we should leave Florida. There are two roads to take, We should decide for the best option depending on the conditions of the road
After about 8 hours of driving we may get to a town called Concepcion.
Dinner and overnight in Concepcion
9th day

Parque Nacional Noel Kempf Mercado
Lado Sur Itinerario estandar
Desde la ciudad de Santa Cruz
“Los Fierros” Por Tierra
1er Día
A horas 09:00 comenzaremos la primera parte de nuestro viaje al parque, nuestro primer destino es la población de Santa Rosa de la Roca abordo de un vehículo privado. El viaje será hecho en camino asfaltado hasta la población de Concepción para luego hacer un recorrido por 2 horas en un camino de tierra.
En este viaje atravesáremos una gran área de agricultura, donde se cultiva especialmente la Soya y el Girasol. Aquí podremos darnos cuenta del avance “imparable” de la frontera de la agricultura desde aproximadamente 30 kilometros de la ciudad de Santa Cruz.
La población de Santa Rosa de la Roca,donde pernoctaremos, esta ubicada a 378 Km (234.87 millas)
Esta primera parte del tour nos tomara aproximadamente unas 7 horas. Pero durante este recorrido nos detendremos en San Javier, con 12.000 habitantes y a 542 m.s.n.m. San Javier es una población con la mayoría de la gente desendiente de nativos del lugar o de la chiquitania, esta población fue fundada en el año 1691 por los Jesuitas.
Cena y Pernocte en Santa Rosa de la Roca.
2do Día
Alrededor de hora 09:30 a.m. dejamos la población de Santa Rosa de la Roca, la noche anterior el coordinador del tour no confirmara la hora exacta de salida. Este viaje será en un vehículo 4×4 expreso y durara aproximadamente 6 horas hasta la comunidad de Florida la cual esta al borde del parque Noel Kempff Mercado.
Este imponente parque también fue declarado patrimonio del la humanidad por la UNESCO en el año 2000.
En el viaje de Santa Rosa de la Roca a la comunidad de Florida tendremos la oportunidad de vivir un viaje diferente, quizás a lo que la mayoría de los atraídos por el parque están acostumbrados ya que estos caminos son de tierra y hay mucho polvo en tiempo seco y en época de lluvia estos mismo caminos son con agua, barro y con mucha dificultad de transitabilidad. Algunas veces nos encontraremos con arboles caídos sobre el camino y / o tráilers cargados de madera enfangados o cruzados sobre la vía.
En el trayecto de este recorrido nos podemos detener por algunos minutos en el camino para tomar fotos. Pero no más de 20 minutos aproximadamente debido a que podríamos ser presa de una cantidad de abejas que se torna insoportables y de noche por supuesto los mosquitos, por lo general serán invitados infaltables, cuando el clima esta frio estos insectos diminuyen notablemente
Pero con forme nos acercamos al parque la vegetación se torna mas verde y los bosques mejoran es así las oportunidades de encontrarse con vida salvaje también se incrementan, aunque la depredación de los madereros en áreas de concesiones forestales se deja ver y sentir con gran pesar para los que apreciamos la naturaleza sin el destrozo humano.
Llegaremos a la comunidad de Florida al final del día o en horas de la noche.
Esta comunidad es un lugar agradable rodeado por selva y por una bahía del río Paragua. La misma que cuenta con cerca de 20 familias o menos, ya que el número de población esta disminuyendo debido a la inmigración de los jóvenes para San Ignacio o para Santa Cruz.
Aproximadamente hace un año atras la alcaldía de San Ignacio les a proporciono un motor a diesel para la generación de electricidad, es así que casi siempre en las noche el motor funciona de aproximadamente 19:00 a 22:00 horas, también sirve para enchufar artefactos electricos
El servicio de agua a domicilio por cañerias todavía no funciona. Las chosas que sirven de alojamiento son con techo de palmeras o pasto en algunas los murcielagos conviven en estos techos. Los alojamientos solo cuentan con servicios de baños higiénicos aunque sin el sistema de vaciado de agua por lo que esto tiene que ser hecho en forma manual el servicio de duchas por la misma razón no funciona, pero una bahía del río Paragua esta situada a unos 50 o 100 metros, aunque con algunos cocodrilos, caimanes, y pirañas pero es el lugar donde los pobladores de la comunidad lavan sus ropas y se bañan, lo cual podrían hacer los visitantes.
En Florida podrá encontrar cerveza brasilera y boliviana (la boliviana es mas cara pero mejor) para comprar. Articulos para de afuera para comer o de uso personal es casi seguro que no se encontra para comprar
Cena y Pernocte en Florida
3er Dia
Despues del desayuno visitamos el campamento de los guardaparques para registrar nuestros nombres. Depues nos dirigimos hacia el ponton para cruzar el rio Paragua y una vez al otro lado del rio estaremos en territorio del parque Noel Kempff alli continuaremos nuestro viaje en el vehiculo atravesando puentes de madera en no muy buen estado, aunque a mediados del año 2009 casi todos fueron reforsados cambiándole las partes de madera podrida por otra nuevas, este es el unico camino habilitado para vehiculos que conduce adentro del mismo parque. Este camino tambien se encuentra semi abandonado con la vegetación a los costados casi cerrando el paso, en algunas partes, los visitantes tienen que cuidarse de las espinas y de la punta de las ramas, esto es asi en muchos tramos de los caminos dentro del parque.
En este camino tambien es muy probable encontrase con algunos animales cruzando el camino, estos animales pueden ser pecaris, cotis, tayras o venados, tambien el jaguar y el puma gusta de refrescarse recostado sobre el camino. Los pavos y paravas o guacamayos son los otros animales que tendremos oportunidad de ver en estos caminos del parque
Tambien pasaremos por las cabañas de los Fierros donde posiblemente sea el lugar para el almuerzo y después sigamos viaje hacia la meseta o hacia a la cascada El Encanto esto dependera de las condiciones del camino en el momento del viaje y del desarrollo del itinerario hasta ese momento. En caso de seguir hacia la cascada El Encanto trataremos de llegar en el vehiculo hasta el campamento El
Encanto el cual se encuentra a 5 kilometros antes de la cascada del mismo nombre y se encuentra como a 35 kilometros de los Fierros. Pero si nos encontramos con problemas en el camino, como ser arboles caidos y/o puentes en mal estado o tramos con mucho agua o lodo tendremos que caminar entre 10 o 15 kilometros o mas hasta el campamento El Encanto.
Suponiendo que lleguemos en vehiculo hasta el campamento El Encanto sin mayores problemas y con el suficiente tiempo para visitar la cascada El Encanto este mismo seria bien o tambien podemos pernoctar en el campamento y al otro dia temprano partimos rumbo a la cascada.
En horas de la noche existe la posiblilidad de una corta caminata nocturna con linternas.
Pernocte en el campamento El Encanto
4to Dia
Dejamos el campamento El Encanto y no dirigimos en vehiculo hacia la meseta Caparu tiempo en vehiculo 1 ½ horas aproximadamente durante el camino tambien estaremos atentos a los animal que se puedan atravesar, casi la mitad de este recorrido es sobre el mismo camino de regreso a los Fierros, la otra mitad es un recorrido diferente y puede tener los mismos problemas que el camino a la cascada
El Encanto aunque por lo general este camino siempre se encuentra en mejores condiciones.
Suponiendo que llegamos en vehiculo hasta donde se acaba el camino para vehiculos, desde este punto al pie de la meseta es aproximadamente 2 horas de caminata. Durante esta caminata, necesitamos tener nuestros sentidos alertas para ser capaz de escuchar, olfatear o ver interesantes particularidades del lugar. También necesitamos prestar mucha atención al cambio gradual del bosque de árboles altos a una vegetación bien baja.
Si el acenso a la meseta va a ser el dia siguiente la hora ideal para llegar a este lugar conocido como “Las Lajas” es en el atardecer ya que durante el dia y con la permanecia de personas en el lugar comienzan a llegar avejas muy fastidiosas especialmente para los ojos de las personas.
Dependiendo de la hora de llegada a las Lajas y de las condiciones que nos encontremos, subiremos este mismo dia a la meseta o lo dejaremos para el siguiente dia temprano en la mañana.
Suponiendo que dejamos la subida a la meseta para el siguiente dia, armamos las carpas para pasar la noche en esta parte del camino conocida como “Las Lajas”
Pernocte en Las Lajas en carpas.
5to Día
Muy temprano se desayuna o se lleva el desayuno para desayunar camino a la meseta o desayunar en el filo de la misma, pero de cualquier forma tenemos que aprovechar la frescura de la ma;ana para subir.
La subida a la meseta es por un sendero bien rustico en zig zag, empinado y sin vegetación que nos cubra del sol, por lo que las codiciones del de la subida pueden ser poco amigables en especial si no hay sufiente viento y el sol es fuerte. De cualquier forma se necesita buena condicion fisica para esta parte del viaje, pero conforme vamos sabiendo la vista de la selva del parque se hace mas amplia y la inmensa laguna “Chaplin” se la puede ver en medio de la exuberante vegetación. Tambien dependiendo de la hora de subida tendremos la oportunidad de ver las paravas Azul y Amarrillo (Ara ararauna) volando a una altura mas baja que nosotros.
Una vez arriba de la meseta, tendremos una caminata sobre la misma por alrededor de una hora apreciando el su paisaje verde ondulado con manchas de selva virgen, arroyos y palmeras, y si nosotros tenemos suerte suficiente, podremos ver venados y / o las parabas anidando en unas palmeras que se encuentran a unos 30 minutos del filo de la meseta.
Es hora de volver a la comunidad de Florida, volvemos por el mismo sendero, tendremos mucho cuidado con el desenso ya que hay partes de mismo con piedras sueltas. Llegamos a Las Lajas y seguimos camino hacia donde dejamos el vehiculo. De este punto a en vehiculo hasta el rio Paragua el cual tendremo que cruzar antes que de las 17:00 horas.
Pernocte en Florida chozas o carpas
6to Dia
Lo mejor en este ultimo dia es empezar el viaje de regreso a la población de Concepción bien temprano en la ma;ana eso es alrededor de las 06:00 o mas temprano para haci tener las ultimas posibilidades de usar el reflector de la camionta y de poder ver algun otro mamifero en el camino de regreso, y tambien es recomendable tener tiempo por si algun improviso apareciera en el camino.
Llegaremos a la población de Concepción en horas de la tarde o de la noche.
Cena y pernocte en Concepcion
