Photography Expeditions into Wild Bolivia

A breakfast that won the backing of Bolivia's lowland indigenous peoples, a dirt road we never reached, an old carver in Concepción, and a night in San Ignacio deciding what matters: it's easy to walk away from a borochi, not so easy to walk away from a community.

Two days into a camera-trap expedition for Bolivia's maned wolf, a sweltering afternoon with indigenous leaders in Trinidad turned the borochi from a destination into a door.

A photographer with a credit card and a WhatsApp thread becomes a node in Bolivia's informal supply chain — shipping tires by Thursday night bus to a park ranger who nurses a '97 Nissan Patrol three hours down a dirt road to keep a conservation expedition alive.

The part of Noel Kempff that the river circuits never reach: the Huanchaca tableland, the Los Fierros savanna, and terrain that has had no visitors in a decade.

Twelve days on the blackwater rivers of northern Noel Kempff — macaws, river mammals, and some of the most biodiverse forest in the Amazon basin.

Six days through Bolivia's southern high desert and the Salar de Uyuni — flamingo lagoons, geothermal fields, wind-carved stone, and some of the clearest night skies on Earth.

A 4-day expedition through Bolivia's southern altiplano and the Salar de Uyuni, designed for participants of the 10th Chronic Hypoxia Symposium. A portion of each participant's fee supports research at the HAPPI-IPPA clinic.

A private 4-day overland journey through Bolivia's southern high desert and the Salar de Uyuni — designed for couples, documented by one of Bolivia's most accomplished photographers.

A 10-day photography trek from high Andean puna through cloud forest and conservation lands in Bolivia's Yungas — hiking Inca trails, camping wild, and photographing one of Earth's richest ecological transitions.
