Siesta in Santa Cruz

Bite-sized trip

  • Itinerary:
    Santa Cruz
  • Duration:
    2 day / 1 night (flexible)
  • Price:
    From £ 68.- per person (excluding flights)
The lowlands of Santa Cruz are not quite what you’d expect to find in Bolivia. It’s not exactly the quintessential image of Andes peaks and highlands, but with its subtropical climate and comfortable low altitude of 400m it’s a great place to sit back and soak up the Bolivian atmosphere. Spend a few days sipping coffee in street side cafes, wandering through the street stalls and taking full advantage of the afternoon siestas.

Day 1 – Arrival in Santa Cruz

On arrival you’ll be met by one of our local representatives who’ll whisk you away to your central hotel in the city, within walking distance from the main square. The rooms here are quite simple and are furnished with dark wood furniture and colourful bedspreads. In the evening you can take a walk to one of the many restaurants, the food here is very multicultural so you’ll have plenty of choice.

Day 2-3 – Santa Cruz – free time

Santa Cruz is a popular trading spot and has a distinctly colonial atmosphere, despite the many modern buildings in the city centre. The Los Pozos market is a good place to hunt for souvenirs. With its 1.5 million inhabitants, Santa Cruz is a lively place that offers plenty in terms of cultural activities. Find a spot on one of the many shady benches in the Plaza and just watch the world go by.
