SAMAIPATA (BOLIVIA)







We were lucky the Samaipata road was open again but what a journey! Through muddy roads just cleared off from previous landslides and half the concrete road missing at times collapsed down the canyon. We met a German tour operator we got recommended and we didn't regret. He took us in the cloud forest of Amboro National Park and we were lucky to see wild cappuccino monkeys and a grass snake just in front of us perfect for taking photos.

We had a delicious German meal in the "Landhaus" and we also got invited to a private German birthday party. Thanks to the Germans we had a fantastic time in the small Bolivian village of Samaipata.

So happy you made it to Samaipata. It is so cool to hear you write about the Landhaus. I used to go there very often for dinner and then Disko afterwards on a Saturday night. So strange that there are so many Germans in that place, eh? And did you go to the German bakery and the butcher? I wonder what it all looks like now. Can't wait to see photos very soon. And was your tour guide Olaf or was he busy?
