Der semideziduale Tieflandregenwald und der saisonal überschwemmte Chaco-Wald des Departements Santa Cruz sind die beiden großen Pflanzenformationen, die im 186 Hektar großen Garten zusammenkommen und einen Teil der großen Schönheit des bolivianischen Ostens repräsentieren.

Technisch-wissenschaftliche Forschung, die Sammlung und taxonomische Klassifikation von Exemplaren sowie die Vermehrung einzigartiger Arten sind Maßnahmen, die wir entwickeln, um die Bereicherung und den Fortbestand dieser privilegierten Region zu gewährleisten. Wir fördern die Erholung mit einem programmatischen und systematischen Ansatz für unsere Besucher. Ein institutionelles Ziel ist die Umwelterziehung, wofür die Beteiligung von Schulen, Universitäten, Institutionen und Unternehmen wichtig ist. Sie sollten die Hauptakteure sein, um Strategien zum Schutz unserer Umwelt zu definieren und zu übertragen, indem sie Räume in ihre eigenen Programme integrieren, die Schulungen und Zusammenarbeit im Botanischen Garten beinhalten, mit den Zielgruppen, die sie betreuen. Dafür stehen uns verschiedene Umgebungen, Auditorien und andere Einrichtungen zur Verfügung.

Die Tierwelt von Beni

Die Tierwelt von Beni

Aktie:

Die Tierwelt von Beni

Die Region Beni ist eine ausgedehnte, flache Fläche mit geringer Bevölkerungsdichte und liegt auf einer Höhe von etwa 150 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Die größten Flüsse Boliviens und Südamerikas durchqueren die Region Beni.

Der natürliche Lebensraum der Wildtiere ist umfangreicher als in anderen Regionen Boliviens, aber dieser Lebensraum schrumpft schnell aufgrund der rasch wachsenden Viehzucht und der Tendenz zur Landwirtschaft. Der Preis pro Hektar ist insbesondere in den höheren Lagen gestiegen. Die Waldinseln in den Pampas und die Wälder an den Flussufern sind ein wichtiger Zufluchtsort für Wildtiere, da das Vieh in großen Teilen dieser Wälder nicht eindringt.

Auch wegen der Viehzucht ist das Thema der Atajados eine sehr gängige Praxis. In der Trockenzeit sperren einige Viehzüchter aufgrund des Wassermangels die wenigen verbleibenden Fließgewässer ab, was trockene Flussabschnitte verursacht und die normale Wasserversorgung, insbesondere für die Wildtiere in Beni, beeinträchtigt.

Angesichts dieses Szenarios ist das Potenzial Benis für den Ökotourismus, der sich auf die Tierbeobachtung spezialisiert, ein notwendiger und unverzichtbarer Rettungsanker. Wenn dieses Potenzial ungenutzt bleibt, wird das Beste von Beni verschwinden, wie es bereits zu beobachten ist.

Kombinierung von Ökotourismus und Viehzucht

Die Tierwelt von Beni. Seit kurzem haben einige Reiseveranstalter und Ökotourismus-Unternehmer begonnen, die Estancias oder Viehranches zu besuchen. Dies liegt am großen Potenzial der dortigen Tierwelt und zielt darauf ab, den Markt für Ökotourismus zu bedienen, der sich auf die Beobachtung wildlebender Tiere in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum spezialisiert hat.

Die Bedingungen für die Entwicklung des Ökotourismus in Kombination mit der Viehzucht auf den Estancias können für Touristen etwas hart sein, aufgrund der Zugangswege und anderer Faktoren wie fehlender Infrastruktur auf einigen Estancias. Daher wird der spezialisierte Ökotourismus zur Beobachtung von Säugetieren notwendigerweise durch Abenteuertourismus ergänzt, da es sich um eine völlig unerschlossene Route handelt, die weder bekannt noch frequentiert ist und in den Reiseführern für Reisende innerhalb oder außerhalb Boliviens kaum erwähnt wird.

Wenn die Beharrlichkeit der Betreiber anhält und die Eigentümer dieser Estancias die wirtschaftliche und ökologische Bedeutung des Tourismus erkennen und sich dieser Tätigkeit anpassen, die die Viehzucht kaum beeinträchtigt, könnten die Estancia-Besitzer für jeden Dienst und jeden Besucher attraktive Preise verlangen. Dies würde einen Markt von Besuchern anziehen, angefangen bei Touristen mit mittlerem Zahlungsvermögen und nicht nur solchen mit hohem Budget für die Beobachtung von Wildtieren. So würde sich der Markt enorm erweitern und ganzjähriger Tourismus wäre möglich, mit einem großen Multiplikatoreffekt für alle Beteiligten, insbesondere für die Viehzüchter und die Wildtiere in Beni und Bolivien.

Desde hace un corto tiempo a esta parte algunas operadoras de turismo /  emprendedores en ecoturismo han ido visitando las Estancias o ranchos ganaderos debido a la existencia del gran potencial en de la vida silvetre en estas zonas y en busca de  satisfacer el mercado del ecoturismo especializado en la obsevacion animales salvajes en completa libertad en su habitad natural.

Las condicones para el desarrollo del ecoturismo en combinacion con la ganaderia en las Estancias ganaderas pueden ser un poco duras para los turistas debido a las condiciones del las vias de acceso, junto con otros factores como  la falta  de insfractructura en algunas Estancias. Por lo que la figura del ecoturismo  especializado en observacion de mamiferos se ve necesariamentee complementado con el turismo de aventura  totalmente OFF THE BEATEN TRACKS porque no  es una ruta conoccida  ni frecuentada , y casi en su totalidad  no fiigua  en los guias de viaje de  de los viajeros dentro o fuera de Bolivia

Si la persistencia de los operadores subsiste y los propietarios de estas Estancias persiben la importancia economica / medio ambiental del turismo, acomodandose a esta actividad que no impide casi absolutamente el mantenimiento de la ganaderia. Los dueños de las Estancias podrian  cobrar por cada servicio y tambien por cada visitante  precios  atractivos para un mercado de visitantes empezando con los turistas que tienen una capacidad de pago medio y no solamente en los que tienen o estan cn un presupuesto alto para la observcion de aimales silvestres.. Es asi que el mercado se amplia enormente  y se tendria turismo todo el año, con un gran efecto multiplicador para todos lso actores en espcial para los ganaderos y para la fauna silvestre del Beni y Bolivia

 

Die Tierwelt von Beni

Die Tierwelt von Beni, die bekanntesten und herausragendsten Tiere der Wildtiere des Beni sind der Schwarze Kaiman (Melanosuchus niger), der Ameisenbär (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) und der Goldameisenbär (Tamandua tetradactyla), die sowohl in Wäldern als auch in Savannen verbreitet sind.

Reiseroute

Die Tierwelt von Beni

Wildtiere in Beni, Bolivien – Trockenzeit 

Abfahrt von Trinidad um 07:00 Uhr, um die Frische des Morgens zu nutzen und mehr Möglichkeiten zu haben, unterwegs Wildtiere zu sehen. Manchmal ist es möglich, bereits auf dem Hauptplatz von Trinidad Tukane zu beobachten.

Die Straße ist asphaltiert bis zur Ortschaft San Javier, etwa 30 km von Trinidad entfernt. Danach wird es zu einer Schotterstraße.

Nach etwa einer Stunde Fahrt und mit etwas Glück haben Sie die Möglichkeit, Wasserschweine am Straßenrand zu beobachten. Weiter fortgeschritten könnten Sie auch Echsen sehen, abgesehen von der Vielzahl an Vögeln in der Gegend.

El Beni besteht größtenteils aus Sümpfen, Lagunen, natürlichen Pampas und Flüssen, sowie einigen Teilen mit Wald, insbesondere entlang der Flussufer.

Es ist wichtig, während der Fahrten zum Ziel aufmerksam zu sein, um die Chance zu erhöhen, die Wildtiere von Beni zu sehen.

Während dieser Reise können wir neben Tieren auch wunderschöne Naturlandschaften entdecken, die es wert sind, anzuhalten und zu genießen.

Manchmal ist es auch möglich, den bolivianischen Seerosen (Nenufar) an den Seiten der Straße zu sehen.

Von Trinidad bis zum nächsten Dorf nahe der Ranch, zu der wir fahren, beträgt die Fahrzeit etwa 5 Stunden. Diese Fahrt ist jedoch selbst eine Reise, bei der man die Pampas und die Wildtiere von Beni, Bolivien, entdecken kann.

Es wäre möglich, im Dorf zu Mittag zu essen, oder es wäre vielleicht besser, erst am Zielort zu essen.

Das hängt davon ab, wie sich die Reise entwickelt und insbesondere davon, welches Bauernhaus oder Viehranch unser Ziel auf dieser Tour ist.

Es ist geplant, gegen 14:00 Uhr auf der Estancia anzukommen und dort eine etwa 2-stündige Pause einzulegen. Die Übernachtung kann in Zimmern erfolgen, und die Touren können direkt von dort aus starten.

Diese Ausflüge können bei Sonnenuntergang, während der Nacht und bei Sonnenaufgang durchgeführt werden. Um die Tour optimal zu nutzen, wäre es jedoch ideal, etwas Komfort zu opfern und eine oder sogar beide Nächte im Wald zu verbringen, an Orten, die beste Chancen bieten, die Wildtiere von Beni zu beobachten.

Dann, nach der 2-stündigen Pause, bereiten wir uns für den ersten Ausflug vor, um im Wald zu übernachten, entweder im Zelt oder in Hängematten.

Ein möglicher Übernachtungsort könnte etwa 5 km vom Haus entfernt liegen. Sobald wir dort angekommen sind, stellen wir die Zelte auf und bereiten das Abendessen zu. Nach dem Abendessen machen wir einen Spaziergang in der Umgebung.

Übernachtung am Campingplatz.

2.-Tag

Sehr früh, noch vor dem Frühstück, vielleicht um 5:00 Uhr, machen wir einen Spaziergang, immer auf der Suche nach dem Jaguar oder anderen wilden Säugetieren.

Depsues de volver y desayunar en el lugar del camping se recoge las carpas   y empezamos la caminata de aproximadamete 2 horas para llegar a la casa de la hacienda o rancho, tambien este recorrido lo podriamos hacer a caballo, todo este tiempo de vuelta a la casa estamos aprovvchandolo para ver mas de la fauna silvestre del Beni

Mittagessen und Ruhepause auf der Ranch

Etwa um 16:30 Uhr brechen wir auf, um die Nacht an einem anderen potenziellen Ort für unsere Ziele zu verbringen.

Sobald wir am geeigneten Ort sind, stellen wir die Zelte auf und nach dem Abendessen machen wir einen nächtlichen Spaziergang, der entlang der Waldwege oder am Ufer eines Flusses stattfinden kann.

Übernachtung im Campingplatz.

3. Tag

Sehr früh, noch vor dem Frühstück, machen wir eine weitere Exkursion durch einen Teil der Ranch, um die Safari-Reise optimal zu nutzen.

Danach frühstücken wir, um die Morgenfrische zu genießen.

Rückkehr zur Ranch für das Mittagessen und Vorbereitungen zur Rückkehr nach Trinidad auf der gleichen Route.

Die Rückfahrt in die Stadt bietet auch eine großartige Gelegenheit, Vögel und Säugetiere der Wildtiere von Beni zu sehen.

Die geschätzte Rückkehr nach Trinidad ist gegen 18:30 Uhr.

Ende der Die Tierwelt von Beni.

Die naturlichen Attraktionen in Trinidad

Die naturlichen Attraktionen in Trinidad, diese Stadt liegt im Departamento Beni in Bolivien und bietet eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten für Touristen. Eine der Hauptattraktionen ist die Erkundung der beeindruckenden Landschaften und der Tierwelt der Beni-Savanne, die durch geführte Touren und Ausflüge möglich ist. Besucher können Bootsfahrten auf den Flüssen Ibare und Mamoré unternehmen, um verschiedene Vogelarten, Flussdelfine und andere Fauna zu beobachten.

Außerdem ist Trinidad bekannt für kulturelle Erlebnisse wie Besuche auf lokalen Märkten, um traditionelles Handwerk und regionale Küche zu entdecken. Touristen können auch historische Stätten wie die Jesuitenmissionen der Moxos erkunden, die einen Einblick in die koloniale Geschichte der Region bieten. Für Abenteuerlustige bieten Aktivitäten wie Wandern, Angeln und Wildbeobachtung in nahegelegenen Naturreservaten aufregende Möglichkeiten, um die Schönheit von Trinidad und ihrer Umgebung zu erleben.

Trinidad liegt in der grünen Region Boliviens und hat ein tropisches und warmes Klima. Die Umgebung ist dicht bewaldet, und mehrere große Flüsse durchqueren Beni. Trinidad hat über 100.000 Einwohner und wurde 1686 von Padre Cipriano Barace in der Nähe der Llanos de Moxos gegründet. Das Klima ist heiß und feucht.

Die Stadt ist von Flüssen, Seen und Lagunen umgeben. Es gibt viele Bootstouren auf den Flüssen sowie Restaurants und Resorts rund um die Hauptlagunen der Stadt. Trinidad gehört auch zu den fünf ersten Städten der Jesuitenmissionen, die zusammen mit San Javier, Loreto, San Pedro und San Ignacio de Moxos gegründet wurden. Sowohl Trinidad als auch San Ignacio de Moxos nehmen alle zwei Jahre am Internationalen Festival der Barockmusik in Bolivien teil.

Die naturlichen Attraktionen in Trinidad, die Stadt verfügt über zwei besondere Museen, die einen Besuch wert sind. Das Itícola Museum (Museum für Fischfauna) ist das zweitgrößte seiner Art in Südamerika und beherbergt über 400 Exemplare von Fischarten, die in Seen und Lagunen der Region vorkommen. Hier kann man kleine Fische, Piranhas und einen konservierten rosafarbenen Delfin (in Formaldehyd schwimmend in Originalgröße) betrachten.

Das Ethnoarchäologische Museum (Kenneth Lee) ist ebenfalls einen Besuch wert. Hier gibt es Ausstellungen von Keramik, Utensilien, Werkzeugen, Textilien und anderen Gegenständen, die von der Kultur der Moxos verwendet wurden. Neben den Museen ist es in Trinidad Beni üblich, Capybaras zu sehen, die größten Nagetiere der Welt, nur wenige Kilometer von der Stadt entfernt, besonders in der Nähe von Lagunen, wo man oft ganze Familien beim Spazierengehen beobachten kann.

Das Botanische Museum ist eine der Hauptattraktionen von Trinidad Beni und zeigt viele Amazonaspflanzen wie die Victoria Regia, eine emblematische Wasserlilie der Region. Beni ist auch die Heimat des Blaukehlara (Ara glaucogularis), einer vom Aussterben bedrohten endemischen Art. In einem nahegelegenen Dorf in der Nähe von Trinidad kann man sie fast das ganze Jahr über beobachten. Diese Aktivitäten und Orte machen Trinidad Beni zu einem faszinierenden Ziel für Naturliebhaber und Kulturinteressierte.

Laguna Gérard

20 minutes upriver we enter the forest to reach a lagoon 100 meters from the riverside. We will be able to see crocodiles, capybaras and different varieties of birds. The fishing is good but difficult here but we can catch tucunares, piranhas, bentones and surubies. In the lagoon outlet we can fish for curubinas, piranhas and palometas. And then have a good lunch!

Some activities are better at certain times of the year as much depends on the height of the river. From December to April the water can rise up to 7 metres and begin to recede in May.

The Amazon flora of the Forest of Bella vista

The forests contain trees of all types, such as: Itahuba, Caricari, Tajibos, Cedar, rust-coloured Cuta, Almandrillo and others. 50% of the woods are exotic. 

Medicinal plants exist and are used to cure ailments such as: ulcers, asthma, blood disorders, appendicitis, cardiac diseases, respiratory problems, snake bites, digestive problems and others.

Giant Water Lily Victoria Boliviana

Nymphaea tetragona. The term water lily or lotus is generally applied to aquatic plants with flowers that grow in lakes, ponds, pools, swamps, or slow-moving streams, usually rooted in the bottom. Water lilies belong to the families Nymphaeaceae, Cabombaceae of the order Nymphaeales; the family Nelumbonaceae of the order Proteales and also to the genera Nymphoides of the family Menyanthaceae of the order Asterales and the genus Hydrocleys of the family Alismataceae of the order Alismatales. See each of these three families or one of these two genera for more specific data. The leaves of common water lilies can be of two types:

The first type is the one with the largest dimensions (usually). Their roots can reach lengths of 4.5 to 5 meters. The second type is the leaves that can be seen floating on the water. They are generally smaller in size.

New Species Victoria Boliviana

Spanish botanist Carlos Magdalena „Completely different“ Botanist Carlos Magdalena, one of the world’s leading experts on water lilies, had long suspected that the plant was different from the other two known giant species, Amazonian Victoria and Victoria cruziana.

Victoria boliviana IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES His suspicions led him to ask scientists from Bolivia – from the National Herbarium of Bolivia, the Botanical Garden of Santa Cruz, and the Public Botanical Garden La Rinconada – for the donation of some seeds to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. „Completely different“ Botanist Carlos Magdalena, one of the world’s leading experts on water lilies, had long suspected that the plant was different from the other two known giant species, Amazonian Victoria and Victoria cruziana.

Victoria boliviana

His suspicions led him to ask scientists from Bolivia – from the National Herbarium of Bolivia, the Botanical Garden of Santa Cruz, and the Public Botanical Garden La Rinconada – for the donation of some seeds to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

„Perhaps it’s subjective, but of the three species, I think (the new one) has one of the most beautiful flowers,“ he added.

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has a long tradition of cultivating these plants: the Water Lily House was built in 1852 to display its collections.

Archive image of the Water Lily House

The giant water lilies – discovered in the 19th century – were a natural wonder of the time, and the genus was named after Queen Victoria of England. With the new species discovered, there are now three species of this type.

The new discovery shows that water lilies still hold some surprises, and scientists say there is still much to learn about them.

Victoria Boliviana in the wild in Bolivia

„None of the three species has been very well studied,“ explained scientist Alex Monro, from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

„We still don’t know how many populations there are and how much they vary in size. We don’t understand pollination biology very well. We don’t know much about the species‘ dispersal: how it is transmitted from one place to another.“

„So there are still many unknowns. And I think, because they are so large, so obvious, people haven’t thought about studying them in such detail.“

The description of this plant has been published in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science.

Amazon Lake

Aktie:

Selva Blue - Lodge Los Lagos - Amazonia Lakes

Amazon Lake projects include zealously protecting our 100 square km (24710 acres) so that the fauna may find refuge and protection from hunting here, as we have done thus far, keeping our core centres undisturbed maintaining their incredible fauna unwary of humans and prevent our unavoidable footprint, becoming an Ecological Resort and minimising our consumption of fossil fuels by shifting to renewable power sources when possible, educating our local staff and our tourists as well as influencing our community to become more ecologically sensitive.

Our end goal is to become a sanctuary to all the fauna, to become a conservation and research center, with Reintroduction Programs of endangered species.

There is still a long road ahead of us but we are certain that with passionate and dedicated effort we will achieve our goals.

The natural reserve

Amazon Lake – A wildlife Santurary

( Some parts are taken from Amazonas Lakes)

This region comprehend a number of Amazon Lakes, located in the Amazon basin, is the only resort in the Amazon, with an extension that surpasses 100 square kilometers (24710 acres) of private protected area. Our protected ecoregions include Amazon tropical forest, Amazonian neotropical Savannas, Floodplains and Grasslands, Lowlands, and Wetlands (marshes, swamps, lakes and streams). Although we are not an official Reserve, we are working towards becoming one. We are deeply committed to the conservation of the wonderful Flora and Fauna of this part of the Amazon. Through Tourism we expect to preserve these amazing lands and to support our Wildlife Conservation Projects. Each Amazon lake offers a sanctuary to the fauna and flora of the region.

Wire fencing of our Property

With our last effort of wire fencing our property we have successfully been able to almost completely stop illegal hunting inside our property. Controlling and enforcing our regulations has become easier. We are happy to observe that more animals roam our lands, finding refuge and seem to feel safe.

Moxos Culure

This destination is surrounded by some 300 lakes, each one connected by artificial canals to keep the level of the water.

These ponds and canals were made thousands of years ago and these are some of the evidences of the great archaeological culture of Moxos that began in the area about some 4000 years before Christ.

The plain Moxos also includes a large Eco-system of natural grasslands, wetlands, birds, aquarium fish, terrestrial aquatic mammals like freshwater dolphins and Giant River Otters

Amazon Lake La Raya (Stingray Pond)

This small pond, with the shape of a stingray, is fed by a bifurcation of the Black Stream that flows south to north and discharges its waters in the Blessed Lake (Laguna Dichosa). It is also part of our Core Centers.

The Amazon Lake Lagunas Tojas (The Twin Ponds)

These ponds are surrounded by swamps and in some parts covered by aquatic plants, which is why they are practically inaccessible. These ponds are part of our private protected areas.

Amazon Rainforest Adventures

These are tours to places in the jungle hard to travel to. In most of the cases there is no a path to follow. Most of these destinations are in natural reserves or national park. One  example could be Laguna Chaplin in Noel Kempf National park. This place is a  beautiful  lake of about 12.000 hectares . The wildlife of this place is abundant, incluiding different species of fish. More about Chaplin Lake 

Visiting the green part of Bolivia can be a very high exciting  experience.  Almost all the destinations in this part of the country  are  off the beaten tracks. The visitors have to be very aware of the conditions of these tours.

In Bolivia there are so many places to be discovered.  Bolivia is one of the biggest country in South  America  with only about 11 millions inhabitants. Bolivia is one of the 10 most diverse countries in the world, Though Bolivia has not a coastline.

Ecotourism in Bolivia  is in a very early stage, so chances of getting a real Amazon Rainforest adventure are big.!

 In some cases even well known destinations have become a very hard tour to be accomplish. These can be the case of Caparu Plaeau in Noel kempf National park. Still in Noel Kempf park El Encanto Waterfall is longer possible to visite it due to the bad conditions of the old road.

But  thanks to hard work of a tour operator of Santa Cruz city  a new destination is now available in this national park. The new great destination  took a great amount of effort, but finally  was possible to take a group of visitors  to this place.

In the las  20 years  many people and institutions had tried to find an old trail to this attraction but all had failed.

Amboro national park is a park very near the city of Santa Cruz But even here an adventure  can take place because the interior of the park is very hard to get through.   In order to have  a real adventure travel  in this park and to be of the beaten track of the other visitors you need at least 3 days  starting from the city of Santa Cruz  and heading to  the north side of the park

Some excursions, depending on the visitor’s request may  also can take place in  remote destinations where never a  tourist have been before 

The tour can be a private trip. In case of groups these  usually  are not bigger than 4 visitors and most of the time our groups will not see another visitors
