    Nous avons réservé le tours dans la pampa de 3 jours et 2 nuits. Il faut 3h de route (où il est possible de voir de nombreux animaux) et quelques minutes de pirogue à moteur pour atteindre le campement. Notre chambre était vraiment super propre (pas d’insecte!) et équipée d’une moustiquaire. Nous y avons super super bien mangé! Il y a de l’électricité de 18/19h jusqu’à 21h mais pas d’eau chaude (ce qui n’est pas dérangeant vu la température ambiante). Notre guide Jimmy était top et il s’est beaucoup investi pour nous aider à voir les animaux. Nous avons beaucoup aimé ces 3 jours là-bas et les différentes activités proposées. Nous y étions fin mars qui est la fin de la saison des pluies, et donc la bonne saison pour voir les dauphins roses d’Amazonie mais moins pour les caïmans, anacondas et piranhas (mais nous avons vu beaucoup de petits caïmans surtout de nuit et nous avons réussi à pêcher un piranha).

    (Translated by Google) We spent 4 nights with this agency and I comment, the first 2 nights in the cabin in the jungle of Madidi we got cockroaches, the first and the second night, these cabins are very neglected as we communicated to the peace officer with whom we went against the trip, You are in the middle of the jungle, the staff is wonderful as well as the guide, the food is very good. The clean bed but with cockroaches to kill. The next 2 nights in the pampas, these are fine, the food is very good and everything else is fine. (Original) Pasamos 4 noches con esta agencia y comento, las 2 noches primaras la cabaña en la selva de Madidi nos salieron cucarachas, la primera y la segunda noche, estas cabañas están muy descuidadas como le comunicamos al agente de la paz con quien contramanos el viaje,Estas en plena selva , el personal es maravilloso así como el guía, la comida muy buena. La cama limpia pero con cucarachas a matar.Las 2 noches siguientes en las pampas, estas están bien, comida muy bien y todo lo demás bien.

    Aurelio war ein cooler Typ. Man muss ein bisschen warm werden mit ihm aber dann ist es lustig. Er ist ein sehr guter Guide und wir waren vollstens zufrieden. Perfektes, sehr gutes Essen. Unterkunft auch sehr gut. Zwischen den Touren genĂĽgend Zeit um sich zu erholen. Danke.

    (Translated by Google) It is one of the best tour operators in Rurrenabaque, its price is relatively high, but the quality exceeds the cost benefit. It has shelters both in the pampas (Santa Rosa, RĂ­o Yacuma) and in the jungle (Parque Madidi, RĂ­o Tuichi) (Original) es una de las mejores operadoras de turismo de Rurrenabaque, su precio es realtivamente alto, pero la calidad supera el costo beneficio. teine albergues tanto en las pampas (Santa Rosa, RĂ­o Yacuma) como en la selva (Parque Madidi, RĂ­o Tuichi)

    Bala Tours provided us (two 30-year-old Americans) with a fantastic visit for our three-day Pampas tour. Aurelio is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and accommodating. He knew where to go to see animals, had eagle eyes, and great command of his motor boat. We were eager to see early-morning birds, and Aurelio happily woke up at 5am with us to get into the boat and get going. Hilda, the Bala Tours cook, is phenomenal. You’ll appreciate her take on the local cuisine. The Bala Tours lodge itself is excellent, located at a proper distance downriver from the dock and in an area that feels isolated enough. The campsite is comfortable and enjoyable, nestled between the river and wetlands. You’ll be flipping your head back and forth the entire time to watch birds flying through. Now is an excellent time to visit Bolivia. Not a ton of tourists have made their way back yet since the pandemic, so wilderness trips feel even more remote, the wildlife is even more undisturbed, and the folks are even more accommodating to the few who do venture back. Don’t hesitate!

    We just came back from the 5 day tour (2 day madidi/3 days pampa) and had an amazing time. The lodges are clean (all beds have good mosquito nets) and really directly in the nature. You just hear the sounds of the animals/the nature during the night. Our guide Aurelio was amazing, he has the best eyes to spot animals and knows the best places for sunrise/sunset. He does everything to make your time unforgettable. His knowledge about the plants and animals is huge and you will learn a lot from him during your tour. The cook Hilda made the best food we had in all over south america. Every day we came back from the tour she waited with freshly pressed juice, which was so cute. All the team is doing a great job. I would definitely recommend staying there. The organisation was perfect, pick up, drop off, all on time and we were in good and safe hands all the time. They even provide rain ponchos. Aurelio and Hilda have about 25 years of experience in their job, they definitely know what they do. What we loved is that it is really ecological, no feeding and touching animals - like it should be. They treat nature and animals with respect. Big recommendation.

    Not open 24 hours. Wasn't open at all, rang the numbers and was lied to twice about them coming to open up. How can you trust them with a tour if they lie to you and can't even open up their office?!

    My wife and me were in oktober 2023 some days at first in the tacuaral Lodge in the madidi national park and after that 3 days in the caracoles Lodge near Santa Rosa de Yacuma, in the pampa. We had the hole time an excellent and very friendly guide, Aurelio is his name. We can only recommend this guide and tour agency.
