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.
Our voyage together was for two days and one night. The campsite Quetzales is well chosen and the walks strenuous, but everyone takes it at their own pace. We traveled through the tree-fern forest using various paths. The hike to the summit at 2400
meters was very invigorating. The views more than amazing. Michael can easily discuss any and all aspects of the flora and fauna, but he also appreciates the silence and natural sounds of Amboró. We saw many different species of birds and we were dedicated to savoring the peacefulness as well as being in movement. Michael is very accommodating to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Having completed five days in the Pantanal, I feel qualified to compare. I definitely recommend these tours, whether they be a single day or three.
