| SANTA CRUZ | ||
| Santa Cruz is far from the Altiplano in the huge eastern lowland of Bolivia. The city is rapidly becoming the principal gateway to Bolivia: it is the center of the country's economic growth, has the best international airport in the country, and is at a low altitude - only 416 mt. (1,350 ft.) above sea level. The rapid economic development has not affected the colonial character of the old backstreets nor the famous good humor of the city's inhabitants. | ||

SAMAIPATA |
||
This is the most original archeological site in Bolivia.
The ruins cover 10 hectares (25 acres). Protuding above the sanctuary,
in the highest peak, are zoomorphic figures carved into
living rock. The ruins are an object of speculation for
scientists and mystics alike.

treasures and are officialy listed as Patrimony of Mankind by the
United Nations. Our excursions combine history, religious art,

| AMBORO NATIONAL PARK | ||
The park occupies an extensive area of waters sources flowing into the
Amazon basin. It is a transitional zone where three diverse
ecological regions meet: the Yungas, the Amazon, and the
Dry Valleys. These characteristics have given the area a
particular set of flora (including palms and orchids) and
fauna (numerous endemic birds and endangered animal species).
|
||
| NOEL KEMPFF NATIONAL PARK | ||
This park is home to an extremely diverse flora and fauna
due to its position in the Pre-Cambrian Shield. So far,
600 species of birds have been identified in the
park as well as various species of endangered animals species.
The spectacular beauty of the park includes rocky crags and impressive
waterfalls. Access to the park is by plane.
|
||
| THE PANTANAL | ||
A great part of the Pantanal is found in the south-east of Bolivia.
Although more efforts are being made to conserve the Brazilian part of the
Pantanal, the Bolivian area is even more important due to its extensive
untouched forests and flooded plains.
