Santa Cruz Region

In April, there is the most exciting carnaval in the world : every one in the city has a small (or a big) water gun, loaded with indelible colored ink ... Unforgetable !!!

i like it..so i do

There are the best hostel named "Paola". It is nearby the central square. You have to remember that there are no possilbilities to exchanges money, so you have to keep more chash by yourself coming to Samaipata.

The best way to get around the city is by using the public buses (the "micros" as they call them) as for a small fee (1.5 bs por person) they are going to bring you quickly wherever you want. Taxis could be a good idea but you have to take the "radio taxis" (kinda official ones) to avoid any problems. If you go far just talk about the price before. You can get around 10 bs for a 10 km fare for exampleDriving there is kinda technical, it is advised that you don't go alone the first times as the traffic and the rules applied ... could be kinda different or not applied vigorously.The whole region is gorgeous, if you plan to visit it is strongly advised to use a 4X4 (SUV, and so on) than an normal city car (who goes perfectly if you only plan to stay within the city).

Most of restaurant close on Sunday, if you find an open restaurant just keep walking and look for an Hotel with nice restaurant.

check out the pedal boats in the center ;-)

Santa Cruz is a nice city. Usually when you think about Bolivia think about a cold place, but Santa Cruz is located in the rainforest, so it's always warm.Be sure to bring light clothes and repellent for the mosquitos.
