Bolivia in $460s-$490s RT

There's a well-worn tourist track through Bolivia: La Paz, Titicaca, salt flats. All lovely, but there's a whole other side to the country that's just as beautiful and way too overlooked.

Santa Cruz rests in the eastern portion of the country, after the Andes have melted into foothills. It's a great city for wandering because it's flatter and way more laidback than Bolivia's more famous hubs. Peruse the markets, admire the street art, and see if you can spot sloths at the botanical garden.

Once you're ready to head out, we know just where to send you — Amboró National Park! Imagine the rocky red peaks of Zion, combined with the lush South American rainforest, teeming with waterfalls and thousands of unique species. 

And your prize for leaving the tourist track? You get to enjoy it all in uncrowded peace :-)
