Although our fishing season is in winter, the weather here is considerably warm. During the day, temperatures can range from 20 to 35 degrees Celsius (68 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). Generally, our climate is quite dry, which means that the nights are cool.
A valid passport is mandatory for entry into Bolivia. Your passport must be valid for at least six months. From February 2021 on, a visa is required for American (USA) citizens. For the most European countries no visa is required but we recommend visiting www.Bolivia-usa.org to check if your country belongs to group 1 (no visa required), group 2 (visa required), or group 3 (visa required). Bolivia has an easy visa procedure and we’ll provide you everything you need to do it.
The Bolivian peso is about 6.9 BOB per 1 U.S. dollar. Dollar bills in Bolivia are only accepted in perfect (new) condition, without breaks or marks.
Our company maintains the insurance policies required to operate in Bolivia. Still, we strongly recommend that guests purchase trip cancellation insurance to cover any contingency that prevents travel.
The Bolivian Yunga has few mosquitoes and a higher presence of biting midges and horse flies near the river. As for other species that may pose some risk, please keep in mind that we are in a virgin forest that is home to various species of spiders and other potentially dangerous insects, which is why we always advise guests to avoid venturing into the dense vegetation of the Yunga. We recommend wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants throughout the stay, and the best way to protect yourself from insects is to apply repellent at least three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening). We also suggest washing your clothes with permethrin before traveling.
