Insider tip — El Chorro in Bolivia's Beni Department sits in the transition zone between the Amazon lowlands and the Andean foothills, where geothermal springs at around 36°C emerge amid tropical forest. The remote location in northern Bolivia means visitor infrastructure is minimal and access typically requires local guides. The surrounding rainforest provides exceptional biodiversity, with macaws, tapirs, and river dolphins potentially encountered nearby. This is a destination for adventurous travelers willing to combine thermal bathing with deep Amazonian wilderness.
