Bolivia's tropical east and north drop from the Andes into a vast green world of cloud forest, rainforest and wildlife-rich wetlands. This is the country's warm side — the booming lowland city of Santa Cruz and its national parks, and the legendary Amazon gateway of Rurrenabaque, where jungle and pampas deliver some of the best wildlife-watching on the continent.

Madidi and the pampas
