点评:I recently finished a two-week visit to eastern Bolivia organized by Nick's Adventures Bolivia and I would definitely use them again if (more likely, when) I return to the area. Nick and his team were extremely responsive from the beginning, helping me plan an itinerary that included many different spots I was eager to see, including The Chiquitania, Kaa-Iya Del Gran Chaco National Park, and several stunning locations around Samaipata and Amboró National Park. Guides and drivers were always punctual, friendly, and full of useful information that brought these locations to life. Special thanks go to Santiago, Sezar, Miriam, Aníbal, and our outstanding cook, Helena.
On the map, eastern Bolivia can look sparse and flat, with little to offer travelers drawn to better known destinations like Uyuni and the Andes. That couldn't be further from the truth. Time and again I was amazed by how varied and beautiful the landscapes were here, from the lush fern forests and sandstone cliffs west of Santa Cruz to the rugged beauty of The Chiquitania and the charm of its small villages. The expanse of Kaa-Iya was a highlight of the trip and I won't forget our sightings of jaguars and tapir, or the sounds of monkeys and birds all around us. This is a beautiful and fragile region of South America, often overlooked by travelers, but not by cattle ranchers and other interests that encroach too easily on these lands. Your visit won't just be personally rewarding, but a way to support communities who seemed to take such pride in their home and culture and always appeared eager to share a piece of that with me.
Accommodations were comfortable, food options were terrific, and I always felt safe on the road with my driver, even when road conditions in Bolivia can be a little challenging (actually, that's generally true elsewhere in South America). Thank you again to everyone at Nick's Adventures Bolivia for introducing me to the area and making this such a memorable experience.
翻译:我最近完成了由Nick's Adventures Bolivia安排的为期两周的玻利维亚东部之旅。如果将来我再次前往该地区,我肯定还会选择他们来安排行程。从一开始,Nick和他的团队就非常热心回应我的需求,帮我规划了一条包含众多我想游览之地的旅游路线,比如奇基塔尼亚地区、卡伊亚-德尔格兰查科国家公园,以及萨迈帕塔和安博罗国家公园周围的几个绝美景点。导游和司机们总是准时报到、热情友善,还能提供大量有用的信息,让这些地方变得鲜活起来。特别要感谢圣地亚哥、塞萨尔、米丽亚姆、阿尼巴尔,以及我们出色的厨师海伦娜。
在地图上,玻利维亚东部看起来荒凉而平坦,似乎没什么能吸引那些倾向于前往乌尤尼或安第斯山脉等知名景点的旅行者的地方。但事实远非如此。这里的地貌之多样与美丽,一次次让我惊叹不已。从圣克鲁兹西侧茂密的蕨类森林与砂岩悬崖,到奇基塔尼亚地区粗犷壮美的自然风光及其小村庄的独特魅力。卡伊亚地区无疑是这次旅程的亮点所在——我永远也忘不了我们看到的美洲豹和貘,也忘不了四周回荡着的猿猴与鸟鸣声。这是南美洲一片美丽却脆弱的区域,虽然常被游客忽视,但却难逃养牛场主及其他利益集团的觊觎与侵占。您的到访不仅会给您带来个人层面的满足感,还能帮助那些为自己的家乡与文化深感自豪、并且总是乐于与我分享这些的社区。
住宿环境舒适,餐饮选择也很棒。有司机陪同的旅途中我始终感到安全,即便玻利维亚的路况有时稍显艰难(其实在南美洲其他地方也大致如此)。再次感谢Nick's Adventures Bolivia的所有工作人员,是你们带我了解了这片地区,让这段经历变得如此难忘。
