Bolivia’s diverse ecosystems make it a wonderful place to photograph birds or see them in their natural habitat. Popular sites to go birding include Madidi National Park, Sajama National Park, and Noel Kempff Mercado National Park. The dry season from May to October is the best time to experience what Bolivia has to offer. But if one is willing to put up with a bit of rain, they may be able to hear a wide range of vocalizations between November to April.
