Madidi National Park, reached up the Beni and Tuichi rivers from Rurrenabaque, is one of Bolivia's richest rainforest reserves, where macaws and parrots cross the canopy and visit riverbank clay. Community lodges such as Chalalan run guided walks and river trips that turn up red-and-green and blue-and-yellow macaws. The drier season from May to October offers the best access and viewing.
