  • Your journey begins in the vibrant Santa Cruz de la Sierra, from where you will embark on a scenic ascent in private transport to the mountains, leaving behind the heat of the plains to embrace the fresh air and the beautiful green landscapes of the cruceño valleys. During the journey there, we will enjoy the scenery in complete comfort while crossing picturesque mountain roads, making strategic stops to rest, stretch our legs, and recharge with a good coffee or a traditional regional appetizer.
  • Museo Arqueologico De Samaipata
    During the tour, you will come face to face with striking skulls of artificial deformation, a fascinating display of how ancient elites sought distinction and spiritual connection with the gods. You will examine original ceramic relics in impeccable condition and the primitive stone tools with which the ancient inhabitants achieved the feat of carving an entire mountain. Furthermore, you can carefully study a giant scale model of El Fuerte, the only way to view from an aerial perspective the gigantic engravings of pumas, jaguars, and snakes that vegetation and erosion sometimes hide at ground level. You will get an in-depth knowledge of the transition between the local Chané culture and the later Inca Empire, learning to read every symbol, channel, and ceremonial niche.
