Madidi National Park
Straddling the Provinces of Franz Tamayo and Iturralde, north of the Department of La Paz, the area was established by the government as a National Park through Supreme Decree 24123 of September 21, 1995. The Park is bounded by other National Parks, such as the Manuripi Heat, the Apolobamba Comprehensive Management Natural Area and the Pilón Lajas Biosphere Preserve. It is inhabited by nearly 1,700 members of different communities and its immense wealth of plant and animal species has not yet been fully catalogued.

Chalalán
This beautiful lagoon set in the middle of the Madidi National Park serves as one of the most varied plant and animal preserves. All of the routes in Chalalán lead to Nature. In addition to the lake, there is a lodge surrounded by a primitive forest where birds and mammals abound.
