Nick's Adventures Bolivia

Jaguars and sloths Jaguars are elusive, so tracking them takes patience and a lot of luck. We were very happy to spot jaguars over two (out of 4) days - once spotted we ran in single file towards them in hopes to get closer before they noticed us—lots of fun and adrenaline! Thankfully our guide Fernanda had a camera with her so we were able to get a couple of photos as we only had our phones with us. (A good long range camera is recommended). We were also happy to see our first sloths on the tour! In short, we had fun and enjoyed the tour.

Sloths and more We would like to thank Pablo and Roberto for a wonderful tour. It gave us a genuine taste of Bolivia with a touch of pride, optimism, spirituality and humour and Sloths. Beyond excellent. Pablo spoke good English and had a great sense of humour.

Very high quality experience - excellent service and itinerary. Strongly recommended. We booked at two-week Bolivia adventure with Nick's Adventures comprising the San Miguelito Ranch, Sucre and Potosi, and Uyuni and Potosi province. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. Even before the trip itself, we were furnished with usual information and advice to tailor our choices. All transfers were provided and on time. All the guides were highly experienced. The destinations were excellent too. The San Miguelito ranch experience was my favourite bit of the trip. In three days, I saw 136 species of birds and more than twenty animals. In addition to the five different ecosystems on the property, the ranch has access to the neighbouring soy farm, which is a sixth ecosystem. Duston, the host, and Jorge, our guide, were simply excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and professional and fun to hang out with. If you are a nature lover, I highly recommend adding the San Miguelito segment, but remember this is raw nature, not a children's playground. The value for money is huge, but you need to work for it. The hikes and game drives are long and sometimes quite demanding, but incredibly rewarding. I was astonished by the amount of biodiversity. The accommodation is simple, but good. We had a large ensuite room in the main ranch. The food was really excellent - Aracely the cook makes incredibly tasty Bolivian dishes. In Sucre, Nick's Adventures had assigned us a very experienced guide, Jose Herrera, who was quite a character and had an incredible knowledge about Bolivia's history, notably in Sucre and Potosi. He was also able to give us very interesting personal insights about the dinosaur park, which is definitely worth a visit. I had no idea, but Bolivia actually has the two largest dinosaur print sites in the world (Cal Orcko and Torotoro National Park). If these sites had been located in, say, the US or Europe they would be known the world over. In Bolivia, you have easy access without the crowds, but the guidance of Jose really added value. The last leg of our trip was a road trip from the Uyuni salt flats to the incredible southern end of the Altiplano near the Chilean border. This is quite simply one of the most spectacular geological extravaganzas anywhere in the world. Our guide and driver, Luis and Luis, were highly experienced. Luis (driver) was considerable and safe and also has wicked music in the car, which we could listen to whenever we wanted. Luis (guide) was extremely knowledgeable, yet humble and approachable. We particularly appreciated his attention to our special needs due to some medical issues. His focus was clearly entire on making sure we had a great experience. Which we did. In summary, we were extremely pleased with our experience with Nick's Adventures. I have travelled all over the world and the service we received was right up there among the best we have had. If anything, I think Nick's Adventures undersell the experience! Bolivia is really an amazing country and we were extremely well taken care of the entire visit. Great guides, great itineraries. And the agency was at hand to take care of any issues (there were none). I also think the value for money was really high. so I can only recommend this outfit if you are planning a visit to Bolivia.

An excellent tour company We toured Bolivia with Nick's adventure tours in December 2025. I can say that its one of the best holidays we have ever had. Nick and his team made sure that every need we have was met and arranged an excellent alternative when Jaguarland our first choice was flooded. San Miguelito jaguar Conservation ranch was perfect for wildlife sightings, best hosting and best food. We were very happy with the change. Our Uyuni part of the trip was also wonderful with excellent guides and great hotels. Bolivia is an amazing country and Nick and his team ensured that we had the best holiday. Feliz Navidad!!

Observing a Jaguar Nick Adventure, the best sustainable ecotourism project in Bolivia, benefits the conservation of the habitat of the largest cat in the Americas, the jaguar, a keystone species for environmental balance that is threatened. This project also provides direct benefits to indigenous communities. Traveling with Nick Adventure means being an important part of the preservation and protection of the jaguar and improving the quality of life for thousands of indigenous and non-indigenous people in Bolivia.

Jaguar Experience of a Lifetime! For anyone who has a spirit for adventure, this is truly a moment you will remember when you reflect back on your life. If you are able to brave the mosquitoes, heat, and camping lifestyle, the jaguar sightings you could be rewarded with are lifelong treasures. My fiancée and I were fortunate enough to see a young jaguar at sunset who walked towards us from 500 meters away to as close as 4 meters away!! The awe filling moment of seeing such a beautiful creature so close was an absolute blessing that only a man like Nick could have delivered. The team was wonderful and Nick has a vision worth seeing for yourself!

Jaguarland Reserve Tour Best unique experience - exceeded all expectations. Incredible crew. Exceptional value. We had the time of our lives! The crew were absolutely incredible and so dedicated and enthusiastic. Their passion for conservation is unparalleled. Seeing jaguars just took my breath away. This tour was exceptional value. Natalie cooked incredible food. There was even fans and electricity cords in the large tall tents. I don't even like camping but the mattresses were high off the ground and it didn't feel like camping at all. Plus how else can you wake up to birds that feel like you're in a Jurassic Park movie. Go! You'll love it!

Wildlife viewing far from the madding crowds! I did back to back tours in Kaa-Iya National Parks and then in Jaguarland. Although the animals weren't so cooperative in Kaa-Iya, we did see deer, peccaris, aguti and jaguarundi and some fresh jaguar, ocelot and tapir footprints - they just chose not to be seen! I saw many, many birds, including some on their migration further south and it is great to see a part of the Gran Chaco almost completely undisturbed and in almost complete solitude. In Jaguarland, the numerous jaguar sightings were obviously the highlight, but also we saw an elusive ocelot, 5 species of monkey, peccaris, capybaras, agutis, deer and more. And then there's the amazing birdlife - macaws, toucans, parrots, herons, potoos, hawks, eagles, jabiru to mention a few. For the birdlife alone, it would be worth a visit, and I'm told I only saw a fraction of what is there at other times of the year! The guides and drivers work tireless to maximise your sightings, day and night, and the food whipped up by the cooks, with limited resources, was amazing! I will be back!
