Name: Parque nacional Noel Kempff Mercado

Temperature:
Description:

And incredibly remote and beautiful national park. It's quite hard to get to (takes days from Santa Cruz, you can hitch a truck and then a boat, and incredibly beautiful. The normal way of getting here is by plane, although a road is planned. The trip to get there is almost as much fun as the park itself.

You can camp in the park for a fee. Mosquitos and insects at night will kill you if you venture outside.

There are black jaguars, reptiles, orchids, you name it.

There is a plateau in the park (the Huanchaca) that you can organize hikes too (always with a guide) that supposedly inspired Conan Doyle's novel "The Lost World" - Colonel Percy Fawcett who discovered the plateau was a friend of Doyle.
