A Short Description of  "Saguayo" & Amboro National park

"Saguayo" is also an official entry to the North Side of Amboro

The Red Line is approximately 130 Kms. from the city of Santa Cruz and about 100 Kms. are paved. and the rest are dirt roads.

Saguayo also is the name that has the cabin  or the camp site of the  park rangers.

once again the name is copied or inherited from  a river named  in  an ancient local language

"Saguayo" is right on the banks of Saguayo and  Yapoje river

Once past the Surutu River, the roads goes through 3 communities Within the ANMI (Integrally Managed Natural Area) crossing some hills. It is likely during most of the year that this road ends about 10 km before the  Saguayo river.

The hikes within  the Red Line are usually on a  river bed  or streams coming from inside the park. Because there are no trails in the forest. But  sometimes it possible to hike under de big trees

"Saguayo" with Ichilo  are the areas least visited by eco-tourists, making it easier to be one of the places most vulnerable to predation

Amboro National park North Side

It is an area that despite its proximity to the city of Santa Cruz is very little visited. Almost all tourism in north of the Amboro is just 3 kms within the Red Line.

This Red  line separates the Integrated Management Area of the Park (ANMI) with the heart of the park. This comprises about 400,000 hectares.

The Northern part of Amboro is Tropical and consists of Rainforests, Amazon basin and many eco-systems.

It contains the lower part of what is the beginning of the first hills in the park.

The places are not difficult to hike  because is possible to do it parallel to a streams.

To get  into small valleys within the park, the walks are  along the edges of these hills.

The North Side of this park   is full of unvisited zones.

Comparing the most representative vegetation of this place with the jungles of Madidi Park or Noel Kempff park in Bolivia.

And especially with the south side of the same Amboro park, the difference is noticeable.

After a tour of one day inside the red line, you will notice the existence of a large number of streams, natural pools, rivers and others peculiarities, due to the topography of this area.

And the existence of water sources within the park. Which empties its water on the North side due to the difference in altitude.

Because the average heigh in the South side is 800 meters above sea level. And the Nothern part is on an average heigh of 350 meters above sea level

But what it calls more the attention overall is the quality of the Amazon forest, which seems to be more dense and higher than  in other National paks.

About birds, Amboro park contains more species than the whole country of Costa Rica. The birds in Amboro   are easy to listen, but difficult to see because the dense forest.

In mammals the North part  of Amboro is rich because it has most of the species of Amazon  living in this park.

All this tends to give the visitor a higher satisfaction.
