WE ARE\u00a0YURUMA JOURNEYS<\/strong><\/h1><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

A tourism company, managed and operated by indigenous families of the Amazon community of San Jose de Uchupiamonas, with a wide experience in the management of community-based ecotourism.\u200b<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW\u00a0 THE JOURNEY STARTED<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our road in tourism started with lots of limitations in our small village back in the ’80s when tourism was just a new term and not a development model for the indigenous communities in the Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we grew up, new projects arrived, and thanks to the efforts of NGOs and local families the Madidi National Park was established in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BUT WE WANTED TO CONTINUE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hard-work always prevailed and years later we gained field experience in scientific expeditions with renowned NGOs and media companies such as Wildlife Conservation Society, and National Geographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met several great professionals on our road and likewise, we wanted to become part of them. Some of us got a college degree and eventually worked with amazing tourism companies in the Madidi National Park, Pampas, and Rurrenabaque areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE YURUMA JOURNEYS<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired and experienced we were ready to run our own project in our motherland. A type of experience that could impact in a positive way the conservation efforts carried by the National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how Yuruma Journeys started offering cultural and experiential tours in San Jose de Uchupiamonas, Jungle tours in Mashi Lagoon with tree-tents accommodation, and Pampas tours in Santa Rosa de Yacuma so we can meet the expectations and demands of our passengers, under permanent quality control and low environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SPECIAL EXPEDITIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having the biggest part of our operations within the Madidi National Park allows us to offer a wide range of specialized experiences from birdwatching to sportfishing expeditions with highly trained and experienced guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
