Due to its variety of ecosystems, Bolivia has incredibly rich fauna: llamas and alpacas are very common in the Altiplano, and, with a bit of luck, you may even see a condor, which was venerated by the Incas. It can be 10 feet wide, with its wings fully spread out. The Oriente holds the essential Bolivian fauna and flora. The Amazonian forest is obviously a precious sanctuary for rare species. You will see different types of lizards, parrots, snakes, fish and butterflies there. While sailing along the rivers, you have every chance of seeing turtles and alligators, and also anacondas. Together with other factors, deforestation has made some species rare, such as the jaguar, tapir, or Latin American bear. In the province of Santa Cruz, the Chiquitos plains have the most beautiful national parks of the Oriente.
