Che Guevara Route

Samaipata is the starting point for a tour to Vallegrande or La Higuera, the area where Che Guevara travelled and eventually found his death.

During a tour you will learn the history of Che Guevara.

Nature in this area is beautiful and you see life in the countryside of Bolivia.

Vallegrande is still very traditional. It is nice to visit the market. Liqueurs are made from all kinds of fruit that grow in the area because of the favourable climate.

You will also find original souvenirs made from a kind of palm leaves and fibres.

In the town of La Higuera time has stood still, there are few people living and it is usually very quiet. In clear weather there is a beautiful starry sky to behold and it is wonderful to spend the night there.
