The lowlands of Santa Cruz are not quite what you’d expect to find in Bolivia. It’s not exactly the quintessential image of Andes peaks and highlands, but with its subtropical climate and comfortable low altitude of 400m it’s a great place to sit back and soak up the Bolivian atmosphere.

The countryside surrounding Santa Cruz is a relaxing place to spend a night or two before hiking into the hills. You’ll stay at an organic farm in Samaipata with a panoramic view of the countryside. Watch the butterflies flutter past as you sip on an ice cold beer in your hammock.
