Some ecolodges are found in and around the Madidi National Park. The park is home to indigenous groups including the Tacanan-speaking Tacana and Ese Ejja, the closely related Tsimané and Mosetén, and the voluntarily isolated Toromona. The local people who have migrated here from the Andean highlands speak the Quechua language. Madidi National Park is accessible from San Buenaventura by crossing the Beni River via passenger ferry from Rurrenabaque. In particular, Madidi extends to protect parts of the Bolivian Yungas and Bolivian montane dry forests ecoregions. Ranging from the Andes Mountains to the rainforests of the Tuichi River, Madidi is recognized as the world's most biologically diverse national park. Along with the nearby protected (though not necessarily contiguous) areas Manuripi-Heath, Apolobamba, and the Manu Biosphere Reserve (Peru), Madidi is part of one of the largest protected areas in the world.
Established in 1995, the park has an area of 18,958km². Madidi ( Spanish pronunciation: ) is a national park at the upper Amazon river basin in Bolivia. SERNAP Servicio Nacional de Áreas Protegidas
