Inclusions: 

 

• The Tour package includes all lodging, meals*, and access fees to reserves, parks, and other birding sites. 

• Premier Bird Guide: All of our tours use the services of an excellent bird guide, often a well-recognized expert on birding in this area. The Bolivia trips have an excellent guide in José Antonio Padilla or Lelis Navarrete.

• Top-Rated Preparation Services: We support your preparation for the trip. We provide information on the birds you will see and all the travel details, including all logistic details (arrival plans, trip itinerary, lodging details, and more), information on entry into Bolivia, and information on travel health issues, packing information, and more. Most of our clients comment that our Trip Participation Guide is the best they have ever seen. 

• Transport and Airport Transfers: 

         o Local ground transport is included. This includes a large transport van (and/or jeep as needed) for                     most of the trip.  
         o We also have a driver or guide pick you up at the airport upon arrival, and transfers for internal                         flights are included, and we arrange for a transfer back to the airport at the end of the trip.  

• Acre for Bird Conservation: As part of our efforts to support bird conservation, we purchase in the name of customers (for each booking) at least one acre (but averaging between three and four acres) of wilderness to support bird conservation. As our trip prices are often 20% (and often even a better deal) less than our competition, this does not cost you more and it is a great way to support bird conservation around the world.

• Small-Group Pricing: All the above prices are for tour groups of seven or eight participants. We are happy to provide pricing for private groups with fewer than seven participants.

 

Possible Additions to Basic Trip Pricing:

 

• With Lelis Navarrete as Lead Guide: Add $180 US Dollars (or £140 GBP) to the basic trip price for the additional costs of using South America’s top birding guide.  

 

*Pricing Notes and More Details:

​

• US Dollar Pricing: The Bolivian currency, the Boliviano, has been relatively stable against the US 
  Dollar in the last four years (fluctuating around .142 to .145 Bolivianos per US Dollar). Because of this stability, lodges, and vehicle rental, and other logistical costs are often priced in US Dollars. Thus, we use US Dollars as the currency for pricing this trip. Trip prices for 2024 and 2025 for our trips to Bolivia are fixed in US Dollars.

• Pricing in British Pounds: (1) Our 2025 (and late 2024) price estimates are mostly based on US Dollars; so, our GBP/British Pound pricing is based upon an exchange rate of .79 GBP (British Pound) per US Dollar (the exchange rate on March 19, 2024). (2) We will charge you the actual transaction rate here, but please note that we work to minimize transaction costs. Using Transferwise, we usually pay under one-half a percent (and sometimes less) on the actual exchange. (3) Due to costs related to UK travel regulations, our tours booked and paid through BlueTailBirding.com (for the UK and European clients) will cost 200 GBP more. Please contact us anytime with questions here.   

• Bank Fees: Though we work to minimize bank charges with banking in Canada and in the United Kingdom, banks do often charge about 1.5% for making the exchange.

• Note on Meal Inclusion: Meals include three meals per day during any full day of the trip. The arrival day does not have any meals, as most flights arrive after 7 PM. The departure day includes only breakfast, as most flights leave in the morning.

• Note on Beverage Inclusion: Most of our meals are provided by the lodges, and we follow their practices in providing beverages at mealtimes. Breakfast usually includes coffee or tea and/or juice (as provided by the lodge), and box lunches include either bottled water or juice. Other beverages served at supper are your choice and are an additional expense that you pay to the restaurant directly. We provide water at the table for supper. We also provide bottled water during the birding day.

• Group Size: We anticipate a group of seven or eight participants, and pricing is based on this group size.     

Optional Costs for Booking the Trip:

Single Room Supplement: The single supplement is the price we charge for the additional cost of anyone not sharing a room with another birder (and/or a spouse). The single supplement in 2024 is $840 USD or £660 GBP.  In 2025, the single supplement is $880 USD or £690 GBP*. If you want a single room, please let us know. We are often able to find a roommate for those wanting to share a room.

 

Lake Titicaca, Coroico Road, and More Extension-6 Days and 5 Nights for 2024 & 2025: $340 USD (or £270 GBP*) 

Notes on Other Tour Costs: Exclusions:  
 

• You will need to pay your international flight cost to get from your local airport to Bolivia (Santa Cruz in and La Paz out). 

• The tour fee does not include taxes/fees for entering or exiting the country, telephone calls, laundry, and other items of a personal nature.

• Tips for birding guides and trip drivers are not included in the tour price.
