ezes of the Cruceño Valleys across your face, you can live a movie-like experience. Samaipata offers you trekking in seductive scenarios where your friends and your family play the leading roles under our experienced staff of adventure and ecotourism guides. With cordiality and professionalism, our tour directors give information that instill respect and love for the natural elements and cultural monuments you visit as well as what shapes the conservation of those resources we so desperately need.
The attractions most well known are El Fuerte or “The Fort”, the thousand year old, pre-Incan temple, declared a Cultural Humanities Heritage site by UNESCO; the biologically diverse and easily accessible southern zone of the Amboró National Park, numerous waterfalls and nearby Rock Paintings. The hikes in this region are exercises rich in scenery and encounters with flora, fauna and new archeological sites.
These journeys also present a wonderful opportunity to gradually adapt to the stress of high altitude itineraries. We include tours of several days, cargo burros and all the necessary camping equipment.
Having everything to satisfactorily meet the goals of the traveler, we have diversified our hikes to the pleasure and particular capacities of each visitor, adapting to market requirements that each day become more specialized.
Michael is great and his wife Gaby is really warm-hearted. To both of them and their staff many thanks. It was a shame that we only had three days, they turned into three days of continual pleasure, living at the rhythm of the natural world. Of course the last day was the best. Walking up at down in a high mountain pass while enjoying a tea of herbs collected by Mr. Trekking with Schatzie (the Airedale Terrier puppy), through landscapes of incomparable lush beauty, underneath a blue sky. Above our heads boisterous parrots and above the hills, condors and eagles were soaring. Time to meditate at the mountain peak and to understand the ecology of the orchids and butterflies of the ravines. We also collected wild fruits. At the end there were beautiful waterfalls where we could dip our tired feet. The food was excellent, the camping equipment in perfect condition, Gaby’s jeep very picturesque. Days full of adventure that I’m sure we will never ever forget.
