DAY 1 – Depart from Cochabamba – Toro Toro – Umajalanta Cave

After meeting up with your guide in the morning we will leave early from Cochabamba in our private 4×4 vehicle. Our journey will wind through a series of changing landscapes and you will witness the diversity of Bolivia as the scenery passes by your window. There will be chances to stop and take photos along route.

Once we arrive in Toro Toro we will check into our hotel, have lunch and then we will pay a visit to Umajalanta – the deepest cave in Bolivia. To get there we will embark on a pleasant hike and along the way we will see the first dinosaur footprints of our tour. Much of this cave remains unexplored (only some 7 km have been explored so far) and we will be entering with our torch and helmet into just a small percentage of this colossal formation. Inside we can see stalactites and stalagmites plus see blind fishes that live inside.

Later we will set off on our 4×4 vehicle into the mountainous countryside until we arrive at a place called Ciudad de Itas. This is at an altitude of 4000 m and we will see some interesting rock formations that have been created by water erosion over thousands of years. We will also see some rock paintings that are said to be over 2000 years old. This area offers us a unique viewpoint of the surrounding area and its canyons and ridges plus it is also home to king of Andean birds, the condor, which if we are lucky we will see. In the evening we return to Toro Toro village to have dinner.

DAY 2 Ciudad de Itas - Toro Toro Canyon – El Vergel Waterfall

After breakfast in our hotel to reach a viewpoint that will give us breathtaking views over the deep Toro Toro canyon. In this canyon live families of the endangered red head macaw and it is sometimes possible to see them. From here we descend a stairway to the bottom of the canyon and the surrounding vegetation will become lusher as we arrive in a waterfall call El Vergel. There is time to bath in the clear waters of the fall and relax amongst nature.

We'll have lunch at El Vergel waterfall. Our last visit will be to see some more footprints located near the village of Toro Toro. There are hundreds to observe and they come from a variety of different dinosaurs. We will then start making our way back to Cochabamba stopping for a traditional lunch along the way.
