The National Park of Torotoro a magical place. There are few holes to do in 3 or 4 days. Once you bought the ticket for the park than it's needed a guide to go trekking. The very first day I did the Huellas de dinosaurios, the Vergel and than the canyon. It's a full day tour. In the morning we've walked through the dinosaurs footprints and then went for a swim in the river. The second part is along the canyon, where there are more footprints of some different species of dinosaurs. Very spectacular landscape. The second day it was about Ciudad de Itas and Caverna de Umajalanta. In the morning you will be able to see some prehistoric drawing on few rocks. You will heard the history of people living these regions much earlier than the arrival of the Inca. The afternoon is devoted to an excursion in a cave where stalactites and stalagmites are growing since billions of years. It can be hard to do. Not recommended for people with claustrophobia. ...

Cochabamba, like Santa Cruz, is a modern city far from the stereotypical imagine of Bolivia. It looks like a vibrant and dynamic city, which enjoys a booming, both in terms of population and economy. The most important attraction is the huge Cristo de la Concordia. With its 34 meter, it's the tallest statue of a Cristo Redentor. About one meter taller than the one in Rio de Janeiro. It's reachable by a "teleférico" which costs 13BOB return. Or, it's possible just walking up 2,000 steps, altrough it isn't suggested as some tourists have been victims of robberies. I've done it and I felt very safe tough. The city center is between Plaza Colon and Plaza 14 de Septiembre. Here there's the Baroque cathedral, encircled by arcades of some colonial buildings. One of these is the convent Santa Teresa, where few cloistered nuns still live. One more beautiful building to visit is finally the Palacio Portales, decorated with the European materials. ...
