Back to civilization

Unfortunately our last day in the Madidi National Park is already beginning. After another delicious breakfast buffet, the boat sets off. We march a little deeper in the park on the other side of the river. In an area where even guide Sandro has never been. That's why it's all about Memorize the way exactly and Waypoints in the form of bent branches and machete marks on tree trunks. The way to this large salt lick is seldom used, which is why the machete is often used and we pave our way through the thicket.

There are numerous cracking sounds repeated to you Pakaris to be heard from the undergrowth and unfortunately the pigs can also be smelled. We get so close to the wild boars that we even get to see them. Soon we will be among the first Mud swamps arrived. In addition to the innumerable peccary footprints, tapir tracks can also be seen. A little further we come to the large unforested area. It is teeming with flies, colorful ones Giant butterflies and smells pretty bad. In the nearby underbrush, Sandro makes one deer out.

On the way back we meet the again Peccary Rotte. Hoping to find an animal along the river, we drive upstream. But the search remains unsuccessful.

Back at the camp we pack and eat deliciously one last time. We can help a little Construction of the basic framework for the new roof. Then the long drive back to Rurrenabaque. We see several times on the way Cabybaras on the shoreone even while swimming through the river. Unfortunately, the boat driver does not consider stopping necessary and only reduces the speed, which makes photography quite difficult.

Thick rain clouds are gathering and just then, when we want to do a short hike to a nesting place for macaws in a steep wall, all the dams break. So we have to go straight to Rurrenabaque.

We check in again at the Hostal Tucanos del Rurre and just go out for a drink.
