The Noel Kempff Park, covering over a million four hundred hectares, is one of the largest in the country. Its special and meritorious quality is that it was rescued from lands that were taken over by proprietors who acquired rights over extensive areas for logging, with areas that were so inaccessible that they ended up becoming no-man’s land and a cocaine-production locale.
The Park can be seen as the triumph of nature over pernicious human activities, and precisely due to the extreme distance that made accessibility almost impossible, it has become one of the best places for observing unspoiled natural wildlife.
There are some very sophisticated options for visiting the Park on the extreme northern side, where the Ahlfeld waterfalls are located, but these really require the services of a small plane. Getting there by land implies extremely fatiguing travel during the dry season over roads that become impassable during the rains.
However, there is an entrance point through the south, between Concepción and San Ignacio, exactly half way (kilometer 80), at the Santa Rosa de la Roca town, one takes a turn to the left and follows a road that will lead, after 200 kilometers the Florida community.
