Boat to Rurrenabaque
"The other way around" 3d/3n
Madidi National Park
- Because, Isn’t it good to see the Rainforest with a Company that knows the area very well
- Because, Isn’t it good to cover in 3 days 10 times more the distance than all of the other operators cover of Madidi National Park?
In Deep Rainforest we know that guiding is not just showing the way, the guide should know very well the area, the surroundings, also must be friendly and always be able to be talkative with the group. You will feel like family and safe in good hands and be sure that communication will not ever be a problem.
- Experienced boat conductors
Our local boat conductors were born in the area. On the boat you will see that a helper will be almost always at the point of the boat to tell the motorist wich way to go, it is a team work. They were chosen among many people from the area to take you into the Amazon. We do need experienced boat conductors to go upstream.
- Comfortable boats
Our boats are 16 m long and are big enough for big groups. If we used our boats for local transport, we could take even 45 people + their chickens, dogs and children.
During the tour we won’t take more than 10 tourists comfortably seated + our staff.
- Reliability at the time of Booking
You can trust on the day of departure. Once we confirm to you the departure, the tour will leave YES or YES. We will finish in La Paz in the centre of town
- Boat from Rurre to a Village where we finish the Boat ride, then we arrange a car to take you to La Paz
- Specialised and accurate info about the Rainforest.
- Exclusive Local Guides for our Company. We don’t hire Free Lancer guides and don’t share the group with other companies.

REMEMBER:
- That you can do this complete Jungle Tour after the Pampas
- Deep Rainforest is the first company to organise the Tour BOAT TO RURRENABAQUE since 2003. “Boat to Rurrenabaque” is a trade registered mark. Avoid dodgy imitators that in their desperation to get customers have performed variations to the name like TO RURRE BY BOAT or BY BOAT TO RURRE. Look for the sign BOAT TO RURRENABAQUE with the Cayman logo.
- Only Deep Rainforest has been departing every single weeke “Non Stop” since 2004. and we can prove it with our lists for each departure. And now we will be departing upstream once a week as well.
- Only Deep Rainforest IS STILL RUNNING THE TOUR AND RUNS IT ALL YEAR LONG.
- Our manager and leader guide has been to 90 % of the rivers in Bolivia and has transmitted all his experience to our guides
- Ask for a meeting, zoom/meet call with our guides to learn more about your Tour.
