Samaipata is a small town in the eastern Andean valleys, about 139 km by road south-west of the airport. The route crosses Santa Cruz de la Sierra on Avenida Cristo Redentor and the ring roads, leaves the city on the dual carriageway to La Guardia and then follows national road 7 (Ruta 7) west through El Torno and La Angostura, climbing along the Piraí valley. The last part of the road is winding, with mountain bends and slower traffic behind trucks. The town lies at about 1,650 metres, so it is noticeably cooler than the city.
Samaipata has a compact centre of whitewashed houses with tiled roofs around its main square, with small hotels, guesthouses and cafes within walking distance. The archaeological site of El Fuerte de Samaipata, a large carved sandstone rock listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, lies on a hill about 9 km east of the town and is reached by a separate road with a car park below the site. The town is also a base for walks to the cloud forests and giant ferns of Amboró National Park. Many visitors stay overnight because of the distance from Santa Cruz.
Public transport: No direct public transport from Viru Viru to Samaipata; the airport operator NAABOL publishes no bus or minibus routes from the airport, and services to Samaipata leave from Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
