We try to get to Samaipata at least once or twice a year. This year was special though. Our oldest son together with our oldest grandson (our oldest grandchild for that matter) was in Santa Cruz for a visit. So, accompanied by the queen (wife/mother/grandmother) we took the three hour trip up the narrow winding road that leads from Santa Cruz to Samaipata, a small, thriving town famed for El Fuerte, a religious site dating back more than two thousand years. Located on one of the higher hills in the area, this ancient religious site can be reached by an even more winding, steeply climbing road (paved all the way I should add) that puts your car and the driver to a bit of a test. But El Fuerte is well worth the trip. The site apparently was established by the Chane around the second century BC and much later occupied by the Incas followed by the Guarani and Spanish. There is a well-marked route through the site that features the main ceremonial site, and housing and building foundations from all the major eras. Over these past years, the whole site has been expanded and protected and there are excellent viewing ramps/platforms wherever required. There knowledgeable guides available to accompany you through the site and provide additional information. Associated with El Fuerte is the Museo Arqueologico, small but exceedingly well presented that should not be missed. It is located very conveniently near the main plaza.

Beautiful spot!! A must see. Quick and easy hike on a well kept path. There’s parking across the road. The red sand at the base of the falls gives the water an amber glow and is shallow enough to walk in.
