What animals can you see in Madidi National Park?
Madidi National Park is, like, one of the most biodiverse spots on Earth, really, home to jaguars, giant otters, pink river dolphins, and howler monkeys. Birdwatchers might also see hundreds of avian species, including the striking Andean cock-of-the-rock and a range of macaws.
Wildlife sightings depend on the exact habitat you go into, because the park stretches from Andean highlands down into tropical rainforests, so the encounters change a lot and fast.
