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.

Museo Arqueologico De Samaipata
Get ready for time travel! By booking your experience at the Samaipata Archaeological Museum, you’ll make sure you understand every secret before setting foot on the sacred mountain.
What you will see: As you enter, you will come face to face with the legacy of the cultures that inhabited these valleys more than a thousand years ago. You’ll see the famous artificially distorted skulls up close, a striking insight that will reveal how ancient elites sought a spiritual connection with the gods. You will be able to observe pieces of original ceramics with incredible details and stone tools that will make you wonder how it was possible to carve an entire mountain. In addition, you will have a giant model of the Fort in front of you; this is the only way to appreciate, from a bird’s eye view, the designs of snakes and cougars that the jungle and erosion sometimes hide flush.
