Description
The 18,000-sk-km Parque Nacional Madidi is one of South America’s most intact ecosystems, taking in a range of habitats from steaming lowland rainforests to 6000m Andean peaks. This little-trodden utopia is home to an astonishing variety of Amazonian wildlife: 44% of all mammal species in North and South America, 38% of neotropical amphibian species and more than 1000 species of bird. Some scientists call it the most biodiverse place on earth.
