Madidi National Park, Bolivia
At
first sight, this place looks very picturesque, but it’s actually very
dangerous. Why? Because it’s home to the most poisonous and aggressive fauna in
the world: contact with any of the plants growing in this park can cause severe
itching, rash and dizziness. Any cut, or even a small wound, can become
infected with tropical parasites.
More
than 20,000 species are found in Madidi.
Madidi
is a national park in the upper Amazon river basin in Bolivia. Established in
1995, it has an area of 18,958 square kilometres, and, along with the nearby
protected (though not necessarily contiguous) areas Manuripi-Heath, Apolobamba,
and (across the border in Peru) the Manu Biosphere Reserve, Madidi is part of
one of the largest protected areas in the world.
