Refugio Los Volcanes (Amboró National Park South side)
Refugio Los Volcanes is located in the southern part of Amboró National Park and is roughly a one and a half hours drive from the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Tucked away in a deep valley, Los Volcanes offers spectacular views of sandstone rock cliffs as well as the tropical forests which surround the Sanctuary.
There are also trails offering opportunities to appreciate the flora and fauna. World renowned ornithologists such as Ridgeley, Tudor and others have visited Refugio Los Volcanes on several opportunities - their bird list register more than 200 species - and the local botanist Roberto Vasquez has identified more than 100 species of orchids and bromeliads.
