What To Expect

Fuerte de Samaipata

Samaipata Fort is a fascinating archaeological site, and a 3- to 4-hour tour will allow you to explore it calmly and enjoy its breathtaking views and historical richness. During this time, travelers will immerse themselves in a scenic trek that ascends the mountain skirts, surrounded by the biodiversity of the cross valleys, until reaching the top where the largest carved stone in the world is located. Along the way, you will discover not only the artistic value of the zoomorphic and geometric engravings on the sandstone rock, but also the heritage of the Chané and Inca cultures that made this place a strategic ceremonial center.
