Information On City of Samaipata, Bolivia

Samaipata is a small town in Bolivia at an altitude of 1600m.

By land:

From Santa Cruz it takes about 3 hours.

El Fuerte. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not really a fuerte but a holy place the pre-inca and Incas used to stand on ceremonies. If you can see the Incas in one's mind's eye, the place would be very impressive.
Amboro Park. Offering hikes in the tropical forest. You can hire a guide from one of the agencies downtown. This is more of a must, because there are no trails and you won't be able to hike by yourself.
Bella Vista and Volcanes mountain ranges (Sandstone mountains with different types of forest and jungle in canyons and valleys).
Cuevas - easy to visit waterfalls with a beautiful area to discover on your own.
Condor Mountain, to visit on clear days. The hike will take a long day with 4 hours car driving and six hours spectacular hiking. A perfect alternative to the Colca Canyon in Peru. Condors almost always appear around midday.
Other destinations are Vallegrande, Pucará and La Higuera (where Che Guevara was killed) and Laguna Quirusillas. The highway from Santa Cruz city to Samaipata is very scenic, and very spectaculair, especially in the ´green season´ (November to June).
