How to search for anacondas in the Bolivian Amazon?

Hunting for anacondas in the Bolivian Amazon is usually done by arranging a guided Pampas tour out of Rurrenabaque and walking through those shallow, swampy stretches of the Yacuma River.

During the dry season (May to October), falling water levels draw in wildlife, which makes it a lot easier for local indigenous guides to trace these heavy constrictors in the tall marsh grass. Waterproof rubber boots are genuinely required for this particular outing to keep you safe from mud and from bites you might not see right away.
