What you can expect

  • Forget conventional tours; this is a 3-day, 2-night expedition with private transportation from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, designed for travelers seeking total disconnection, pure nature, and living history in Bolivia. We leave the city to venture into the majestic Valles Cruceños on a journey that combines Andean landscapes, rural relaxation, and the mystique of the Che Guevara Route. For 72 hours, the noise of the city fades away to make way for scenic roads, canyons, and mountain forests, with strategic stops at breathtaking natural vantage points such as Abra del Picacho and Abra del Batán, genuine transit areas for the guerrillas in 1967, where history and landscape merge on the horizon.

    On this private tour, you'll walk through the very place where one of the most momentous chapters of the 20th century was written, enjoying unforgettable hospitality in villages frozen in time. You'll explore Vallegrande and La Higuera at your own pace, visit the iconic Casa del Telegrafista (Telegraph Operator's House), strategically taken over by the guerrillas during their time in La Higuera, and discover the historic Escuelita (Little School), the Laundry of the Señor de Malta Hospital, and the Che Guevara Mausoleum. You'll also enjoy an exciting day of trekking along trails surrounded by wild nature to the heart of the Quebrada del Churo gorge.

    Beyond history and adventure, the experience is designed for true relaxation and contemplation in a cozy country house surrounded by nature. There, you'll savor the aroma of freshly brewed highland coffee in the mornings and enjoy an unforgettable evening around a campfire under Bolivia's clearest starry skies, sharing fine wines and local stories away from the crowds. You'll return to Santa Cruz with a renewed spirit, unique photos, and the certainty of having completed one of South America's most iconic historical tourism, trekking, and ecotourism routes.
