Santa Cruz de la Sierra … It's a wonderful place with such a spiritual feel. I also will return one day.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra … Do not use Ruta Verde for expeditions. They charge four times what hotels would charge.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra … Smaipata is a beautiful and special place with good food (Try Cafe Latino....especially the chicken curry). There is a new tourism project that we loved called Bella Vista. Half jungle and half high mountains.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra … I cannot keep Samaipata out of my mind. It's a unique, very spiritual place, and I will return there one day, maybe to live. I was down assisting my daughter with some scientific work she was doing in the desert near Pampagrande; we took a long "take a shower and eat good food" weekend. A very special place.
Andoriña Hostel, Art & Culture in Santa Cruz de la Sierra … Andoriña hosts a great atmosphere, with many common areas. Beautiful decorated and good hammocks in the garden. Like most travelers we liked the included breakfast. Where do they serve a big fruit plate, real coffee, bread, and homemade marmalade included? The owners are very helpful. I think it will take a long time to find such comfortable beds.
Jodanga Backpackers Hostel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra … Jodanga Backpackers Hostel is a beautiful hostel, large and nicely decorated -- the management do lay down a number of rules but these are reasonably designed to maintain the high standards of this accommodation and are not too restrictive.
