Countries & regions to find nature & wildlife:
Bolivia

One of the most scenically spectacular countries in the tropical Americas...

Bolivia is for the adventurers! These days Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia are fairly slick and easy going, especially in regards to nature and wildlife tourism. Bolivia is less developed and much more unpredictable! It is not uncommon to have petrol stations to run out of petrol, for taxi drivers an/or Uber to not turn up, for hotels not be where they are supposed to be, for guides to turn up 15 minutes late, to get stuck behind huge trucks, for roads to be bone-shatteringly bumpy in the dry season and un-passable in the wet season, and for everyone to be driving at 90 km/hr in the many bizarrely slow 60km/hr zones. And no matter what google maps say, on the road it takes a long time to get from one place to another. Flights within the country are a good option as they are fast, not too expensive, and offer great views.

But there is huge ecological diversity within a small area. You can explore a vast range of habitats within a short distance, from altiplano alpine fields, to highland Yungas rainforest, to cloud forest and elfin forest, to lowland jungle, to open savanna and wetlands, to the arid Inter-Andean dry valleys, to salt-pan desert. One half of the country is flooding, while the other half is parched from thirst. This makes a country of astonishing landscapes and continually changing views. 

However, if you want to focus on birdwatching or wildlife/nature watching without the hassles, and you haven't yet been to Ecuador, Colombia, Peru & Brazil, these countries are good introductions. If you have been there and ticked off those species and want to see the endemics to Bolivia, then welcome to a new country! For backpackers on the cheap and those looking for adventure, Bolivia is great!

For experiencing nature and looking for wildlife, there is a small number of places, including the Red-fronted Macaw Lodge (for the bird in the title and lots of other desert plants and animals), the Refugio Los Volcanes for spectacular walks, views and rainforest, Jucumari Lodge for great highland habitats and birding, and the infamous Death Road for precarious views and surprising birding.
