Amboro Park North Side tours are visits to one of the best Amazon conservation spot in the Earth. During our tours from the city of Santa Cruz , Bolivia you have the chances to get into the zone of the park where no communities or any human settlement exist.
Before booking a tour to the north or south side, visitors should ask details of the tour. Example the name of the entrance and if the tour is going to get into the central part of the park (After the communities), this because some tour offices organize tours to destinations near or towards the park but these destinations could be not in Amboro park north side or south side..
During the rain season sometimes is hard to get into the north side of the park to the area after the communities without human settlements.
For Visitors looking to organize a tour we recommend them to coordinate in advance with the company of your preference or with Amboro Tours office. Online booking is something with more tendency.
