This city is rich in culture and offers the tourist a variety of intriguing Museums, Plazas, Churches, and markets. Much of the Spanish Colonial architecture remains intact in the city many of which have been converted into small 'artesanias' selling everything from high-end alpaca pullovers in Calle Sagarnaga to dried llama foetuses in the 'Witches Market'.

Samaipata (BO)

Samaipata is quaint little colonial town located 120km or 2 hours drive from Santa Cruz. This town is becoming more and more popular to kick back and relax in. Maybe chill in the main Plaza with an Icecream watching the world drift by. The main attraction though is the Fort of Samaipata known locally as ‘El Fuerte’ located 5KM outside the main town.
The site has been of major historical importance for hundreds of years and it covers an enormous area – up to 10 hectares. Likely to have been built by the Chane it was then used by the Inkas and finally taken over by the Spanish. It has recently been added to the UNESCO world heritage list of protected sites. It is also home to the worlds largest carved stone which measures 220m x 60m (720ft x 196ft) Almost twice the length of a football field and one and a half times as wide. The entire surface of the stone is intricately carved with mysterious symbols and zoomorphic figures.

Colonial Cities Sucre and Potosí (BO)

Sucre is the constitutional Capital of Bolivia. It is also known as the “White City of America", due to its striking white buildings and churches. Often described as colonial jewel it is no surprise to discover that Sucre is also a UNESCO world heritage site. The city is home to a large student population and as such has a vibrant night life and social scene which is linked closely to the Arts. This is probably due to it being the host of the first Bolivian University. Sucre is also a popular place to learn Spanish with many courses available at all levels. (See Spanish Courses) It is also possible to catch the Dinotruck here and head out to see some of Bolivia’s remarkable Dinosaur tracks in the cretaceous park. You will only have one problem with Sucre and that will be leaving it behind…

Once considered to be the richest city in the world with a population exceeding 200,000 in the 15th Century, (double that of London at the time), Potosi is without doubt one of Bolivia’s most intriguing cities. The City became so wealthy from silver extraction that its very name was associated with anything of large expense eg, '...it is worth a Potosi!', or '...it will cost you a Potosi!'
The City was recognized by UNESCO as a Cultural World Heritage Site in 1987.
Whilst many Spanish Cities of the same period have pasted, almost entirely, into a modern age, Potosi is virtually the same as it was during its colonial rule making it a living museum and well worth a visit.

Yungas Coroico (BO)

Coroico is a welcome break from the high Altitude and the dry climate of the Altiplano.

San Pedro de Atacama - Moon Valley (CL)

The tour continues to the Valley of the Moon, an unusual landscape 90 percent salt and carbonate exquisitely eroded by water and wind to watch the magnificent sunset.
