Samaipata, Che Route, and Sucre
Head into the mountains from Santa Cruz, see the rock art ruins and cloud forests, and take the old trade route to the White City
A traverse route from the eastern lowlands to the Andes: stay three nights in Samaipata to see the World Heritage rock art and giant ferns, travel via Vallegrande to La Higuera to trace the final footsteps of Che Guevara, and then take the dirt road through Villa Serrano to Sucre. Transportation relies on chartered cars, and road conditions are highly variable, making it suitable for those interested in history and mountain scenery.
Dirt roads are easily disrupted during the rainy season, and the mountains are damp when cold southern winds blow.
