FLIGHTS LA PAZ TO RURRENABAQUE TO LA PAZ

Start with a stunning flight from La Paz to Rurrenabaque over the Cordillera Real mountain range and down to the jungle town of Rurrenabaque. The flight takes around 45 minutes and this the fastest and most comfortable way to travel there.

After finishing your tour on day 3 you can  fly back on the last flight back from Rurrenabaque to La Paz or you can also stay overnight in Rurre and choose to fly back on another scheduled flight.

In the past there were around 5 or 6 flights per day but Amaszonas have reduced the frequency and now it is typical to have have just 2 per day in each direction.

La Paz to Rurrenabaque -   typically 09.30 or 09.35am and 16.45pm 

Rurrenabaque to La Paz - typically 10.30am and 17.40pm 

The above times could change but Amaszonas inform us they plan to keep this schedule until at least early 2019.

If you have time we recommend that you fly one day before your tour and fly back the day after the tour finishes and do not be on a tight schedule because flights can sometimes get delayed.

3 DAY PAMPAS TOURS WITH MASHAQUIPE TOURS

A pampas tour with Mashaquipe is one of our most popular tour options.A visit to the pampas is highly recommended especially for animal lovers and you can see lots of wildlife during a pampas tour and this can include Pink River Dolphins, Monkeys, Caiman, Turtles, Piranhas, Anacondas, Capybaras, lots of different kinds of birds and more.

Below is a typical itinerary to give you an idea of how the tours often are but it should be noted that the order of activities can change depending on what the group decides or outisde influences such as weather. You will usually cover all the activities during the course of a tour though.

It is also important to remember that wildlife is unpredictable and there are no guarantees that you see a particular animal but we can say we confidence you will see some of the things on the list. Most tourists see the dolphins, caiman, monkeys, turtles and various birds at the very least. Anacondas are certainly not easy to see but are easier in dry season.

ITINERARYITINERARY

The following is a typical itinerary for the Mashaquipe 3 Day Pampas Tour but please note that whilst usually most of the activities listed the order in which they happen might change due to the decisions of the group or other circumstances such as weather.

DAY 1
You will be picked up from the airport or from your accommodation and taken to the office (pickup from the airport is also included if arriving the day before). After a short briefing we will set off on a jeep ride for approximately 3 hours until we reach the river and shortly after the "Turtles Lodge" where we will take lunch. After a chance to relax we will set off on an afternoon trip to spot caimans, birds, turtles, different kinds of monkeys and some pink river dolphins. Before the sun sets we return to the lodge where we will have dinner that evening. After dinner we can go and search for noctural animals using a motorless boat.
 
DAY 2
We awake early to the sounds of the Amazon and take breakfast in the lodge before setting out on an easy hike to search for anaconas and other snakes - whilst some kind of snake is usually found it is a mixture of luck and your guide's skill that will determine if you see an anaconda as these creatures move regularly. After lunch we again get on the boat and go searching for more animals plus will have a chance to swim with the dolphins in a lagoon.
 
DAY 3
Today we will wake early to watch sunrise from the boat and listen to the rain forest awakening before taking another swim with the dolphins or trying your hand at piranha fishing until lunch time. After lunch in the lodge we set off on the journey back to Rurrenabaque - you will be dropped off at the airport on time if having a late flight back to La Paz (usually at 17.30).

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONIMPORTANT INFORMATION

The runway in Rurrenabaque is now paved but if there are cloudy conditions then flights cannot take off or land due to visability issues, so in the rainy season delays and cancellations are common. If your flight is delayed the system works like a queue and passengers are rescheduled according to who was originally due to fly first when the cancellation took place. If you need to cancel due to delays that cause your flight to be moved to the next day, you can receive a full refund on condition you cancel your rescheduled flight before the departure time, return the original ticket to us and supply a photo copy of your passport.

Classes, pricing and booking - Amazsonas sell seats on its flights as two different classes:

  • - V class – this is “economical class”
  • - B class – this is “first class”

Both of these classes are exactly the same, no difference in quality of service, seats etc. whatsoever. They do this because regulations require them to sell in two different classes. In general the cheaper V class is what sells first and then the more expensive B class sells last (for obvious reasons).

We offer you the option of paying for either class when you book. This is because we can only book the flight for you if we have received a full payment. So if you only pay for the cheaper V class and there are only seats in B class available for your chosen date we cannot book the flight for you and we will have to contact you to let you know and request additional payments. This can obviously cause a delay and might mean the flight fills up before we get everything sorted with you. For this reason we give you the chance to pay for the more expensive B class from the start. If the cheaper V class is available we will book that one and refund you the difference, if just the more expensive B class is available then you have paid enough for that as we can book that for you without contacting you for more money.

It’s a bit stupid we know, but it’s the way it is and we think this is the best solution. You can also speak to us via our live chat system to check what is available before booking (this is the ideal way if your booking during our office hours) or you can send us a message through our support system to check. If your booking quite far in advance (say more than 3 or 4 weeks in advance) then it is likely that the cheaper V class is available.

Please note that for refunds if you pay with credit card it can take several days (usually 3 to 7) for you to receive the refund to your card. This depends on your card issuer/bank and is beyond our control. For Paypal payments you recieve refunds instantly to your Paypal account.

Can I fly and start the tour the same day? If there are flights scheduled that get you to Rurre by before about 9am you should be able to start the same day if there are no delays.  Any other flight time means you must fly the day before your tour starts unless the operator makes a special exception. In general we strongly recommend you fly the day before your tour in order to have enough flexibility in case of delays.

Can I fly back on the last flight on the last day of my tour? This is usually ok but can depend on the actual scheduled time of the last flight and also how busy the tours are at the time. If you want this you can request it and we will check before confirming it is ok and let you know if there is any problem.

International connections - If landing in La Paz the same day you want to take this flight (for the La Paz to Rurrenabaque section), please make sure you don't take it too tight and leave enough time between the two flights. This is strongly recommended due to the fact that Amaszonas flight times can change with short notice and flights are not always delayed - instead, they are often pushed forward to an earlier time. In order to avoid disappointments (i. e. your flight leaves earlier than expected and you miss it), it is recommended to leave a few hours between the time your international flight lands and the moment this flight leaves (for the La Paz to Rurrenabaque section). Of course this doesn't happen all the time but it's a possibility we have to warn you about. We cannot be responsible for problems that arise due to this.
