Refugio Los Volcanes, Amboro National Park, Bolivia

I was lucky to see these incredibly beautiful and unique mountains on my way in and out of the reserve! In the rainy season you might not see anything but clouds here.

There is no other way to get a view like this from inside the park – the sheer cliffs make all the peaks out of reach!

If you look carefully you’ll see the lodge as a clearing in the sea of trees – just a little to the right off centre.

Altitude: 1397 metres.
