Madidi National Park

Madidi National Park is a vast protected area in northwestern Bolivia, established in 1995 with a total land area of nearly 19,000 square kilometers. The park stretches across an extraordinary altitudinal range from 180 meters in the Amazon lowlands to 5,760 meters in the Andean highlands, encompassing some of the most ecologically significant terrain on Earth. Located in the La Paz Department, Madidi forms part of one of the largest contiguous protected areas in the world, connecting with Manuripi-Heath in Bolivia, Apolobamba, and Manu Biosphere Reserve in Peru. The park protects critical portions of the Bolivian Yungas and Bolivian montane dry forests ecoregions, creating a unique corridor where cloud forests transition into tropical Amazonian ecosystems. In 2018, the Wildlife Conservation Society recognized Madidi as the world's most biologically diverse national park, a designation that reflects its extraordinary concentration of species across virtually every taxonomic group studied.
