Hello! Im planning a trip in feb 07 to Bolivia. Could anyone recommend things to do in Santa Cruz? my time is limited maybe 2-3 days? I heard about El Fuerte in Samaipata, is this a good day trip? how long of a ride is it to get there? can it be booked by a travel agent in Bolivia or can i just take a bus there? also, what about the missions? i also plan to go to Tarija from there. Is it safe to take a bus or would flying be better? if flying are there planes that go to tarija everyday? any advise would greatly be appreciated!
My route will be as follows
Santa Cruz
Tarija
La Paz
Rurrenabaque (are there flights directly to cochabamba?
Cochabamba
all in two weeks! think i have enough time?
In 1 day you can visit El Fuerte (http://www.rutaverdebolivia.com/The-fort-of-Samaipata-Route.php). You can take a tour in Santa Cruz or try to take a taxi from Santa Cruz. Highlights of the department of Santa Cruz for me are:
Park Amboro (2, 3 or 4 days)
Park Noel Kempff Mercado (at least 7 days, or less if you want to fly)
Jesuit Missions (at least 2 days to visit 2 of the 7 Missions)
For more information on these destinations, see http://www.rutaverdebolivia.com
Bye, Gijs
thanks!
Santa Cruz is a mix of races, Qollas and Cambas or Cruceños.
I were taking some pictures from Santa Cruz and a Camba shouted me that it was better to take monument pictures than Qolla people. For the Cambas the Qollas are the lower class. I didn’t take any monument picture from Santa Cruz.
Public phones are really great! They are not inside graceless callboxes, like everywhere; they are inside typical birds!!!!
¡Los teléfonos públicos están buenísimos! No están metidos dentro de cabinas sin gracia, como en todas partes; están dentro de aves típicas!!!
Unfortunately, I dont know the name or where it is, but there is a river in Santa Cruz. When you enter, on both sides there are huts where you can eat, dance, or drink a beer. You can also rent 4 wheelers (about 80 Bolivianos an hour) which comes to less than $10. You can also rent horses. These you can ride through the jungle on. It is a beautiful place. You must go on a day when you want to relax.
The oil peak started on 1940, made that Santa Cruz de la Sierra developed so quick and the city in less than 50 years past from 100.000 inhabitants to more than a million. This has caused a lot of immigrants live in conditions of extremely poverty, without water or light. The city grow fast than the authorities can plan. In the 9th ring there is the PLAN 3000 of New Men. I didn’t find the 9th ring in my map. We went to la “Choza” (hut), that it’s the hut of Monsignor Castellanos, Asturias prince award. I found a person full of vitality and happy with his work. He share the work like one more, in palace all are the same.
There are many cute little parks everywhere. Also, there are many statues. They are of crosses, Jesus, dinosaurs, and other things. All the parks have their own uniqueness to them. You must check them out.
