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 first trip was to El Fuerte. What a great site! The guide was very prepared in history, culture, and pre-Columbian mysticism, and was a safe driver too. Don’t pass
up the walk to the five strategic lookouts! The skies are impressive and with a little luck you’ll be able to see condors checking up on you from above. Then we took a
two-day tour of Parque Amboró between the red cliffs of Volcanes. We saw lots of
flowers, trees, birds, etc.. Michael knows his stuff so stay close-by, let him talk
and pay attention! Two days of trees and walking were enough for us. Any nature-lover will appreciate these hikes.
