In 2025, the South American Bird Fair comes to Bolivia, a country recognized for its extraordinary natural and cultural richness, with a unique biodiversity ranging from the majestic Andes to the lush Amazon rainforests. Bolivia is home to 12 ecoregions and an astonishing diversity of habitats, such as yungas, swamps, dry valleys, savannas and tropical forests. These characteristics make the country a true paradise for bird lovers, with more than 1,400 species recorded, placing it among the countries with the greatest avian diversity in the world.
This year, the fair will be held in the department of La Paz, a region of unparalleled contrasts. From the imposing Cordillera Real mountain range and the Altiplano to the warm valleys and yungas, La Paz is home to a wide variety of ecosystems that offer refuge to emblematic species such as the Andean condor, the cock-of-the-rock, the blue-wattled paraba and the paruma tanager. The region is also a key biological corridor for migratory and endemic species.
The event will focus on the city of La Paz, which combines its rich history and vibrant culture with the stunning backdrop of mountains and snow-capped peaks. Easily accessible from El Alto International Airport, La Paz welcomes visitors with warm hospitality and a unique experience of connecting with nature.
Beyond the fair, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the department’s natural treasures, such as the Cordillera de Sama Biological Reserve, Madidi National Park, and the Yungas jungle, considered one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet. These protected areas are home to amazing fauna and a diversity of birds unique in the world. Of course, Bolivia is not only rich in biodiversity, but also in culture. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the country’s traditions through its gastronomy, traditional music and unique handicrafts.
The XIV South American Bird Fair in Bolivia will not only celebrate the country’s incredible biodiversity, but also its cultural heritage and commitment to conservation. This event promises to be a not-to-be-missed experience for birders and nature lovers looking to discover the natural and cultural wonders of South America.
