Things to Do in Samaipata
Starting points for your perfect trip
El Fuerte de Samaipata: Sacred Stone at the Edge of Empire
Around 300 CE, carvers of the Mojocoyas culture began shaping this 220-meter sandstone monolith with puma forms, serpent channels, and rows of niches. The Inca later added ceremonial seats and terraces at the summit.
Jurassic Fern Forest Trek in Amboró
An hour north of Samaipata, Amboró National Park shelters giant tree ferns reaching 10 to 15 meters, an ancient lineage that dates to the age of the dinosaurs.
Andean Condor Expedition at El Nido de los Cóndores
Trek to a remote Andean cliff-side nesting site where condors ride thermals at eye level. Watch South America's largest flying bird launch from roosts just meters away, with expert guides timing arrivals to peak flight activity.
High-Altitude Wine Heritage of the Valles Cruceños
Spanish colonists planted Samaipata's first vines in the 1590s. At around 1,750 meters, Uvairenda continues this tradition among the higher commercial vineyards in the world.
Ruta del Che: Vallegrande & La Higuera
In 1967, Che Guevara was captured in the hills near La Higuera, beyond Vallegrande and roughly 120 kilometers from Samaipata, and executed the next day. His body was displayed in the laundry of Vallegrande's hospital, now a place of pilgrimage.
Las Cuevas & La Pajcha: Waterfall Canyons
Three waterfalls at Las Cuevas plunge into clear pools about 20 kilometers east of Samaipata. For a longer adventure, La Pajcha's roughly 40-meter cascade drops into a tropical pool some 42 kilometers south by 4x4, past valleys where parrots nest in sandstone cliffs.
