萨梅帕塔城塞印象

wow.. this site is a well preserved archaeological spot and nice spot to spend a day and worth paying a cab to get there. besides it is very quiet place with no crowds. we had a guide, glad we had to undertand what really this place was.

A friendly taxi driver offered me to take me to the ruins and wait for two hours for a price of 100bs - it's not the worst offer, but you still have to pay entrance for the ruins. For foreigners they charge 50bs - which is much more than locals pay. I can understand that, but I also feel a bit disappointed about that price policy - it just leaves you with a bitter taste. The ruins themselves were okay, but not really overwhelming. The landscape is nicer, I think. Which brings me to my conclusion: if you spend time in Samaipata, rather go for one or the various day tours they offer all over the place. They may be a bit more pricey, but certainly more interesting!

I guess there are only a few places in the Americas that can claim that more than 3 cultures, some millenary, lived in the same place. El Fuerte is one of them. Mandatory stop for those of us that like history.

This amazing monument is completely forged into the sandstone! A must see if you travel to Samaipata. Inkan and Aymara culture carvings and architecture is found at the place. Nice sacred animal figures found there. If you go to the museum first you can get both tickets. Make sure to book a guide that knows english (some of them are still learning it, but does the job)

Seeing the Finca ruins was a great part of our trip. There was a lot to see - Really interesting and enjoyable.

visited this area early May and the rainy season although it should be finished continued.It washed streets, roads and caused major land slides.Whole chunks of main roads washed away.This town because of its altitude v S.Cruz is popular with wealthy people from S.Cruz.Many have 2nd homes or more like castles her with the 4 wheel jeeps and designer fashion that accompanies this.The town is poor with mud 1 room shacks housing up to 10 in a family.Popular with new age travellers and hippies but local people dreadfully poor.No children allowed into school without shoes and school books etc...many never attend.Lots of corruption from top down but locals very friendly.friendly. Dont ask too many questions but you will get fresh produce straight from fields...organic.

We've been to El Fuerte 4 times now and it hasn't grown old. This historical site is very cool. They've done a decent job of trying to preserve the ruins. All sorts of cool photo opportunities. If you go to Samaipata then you need to visit El Fuerte. They are paving/widening the road up to the entrance. It is way easier on the vehicle now, but the old winding narrow dirt road added character to the trip. It's an easy hike around their 2K trail. Have fun!

This is the sort of place that is very interesting to visit if you are driving by, but which is not so good as to go way out of your way to see. In fact, part of the issue is that you can't see much of the site close up but rather are restricted to viewing platforms and footpaths some distance from the interesting parts of the site. As compared to most other archaeological sites in South America we found this distance made the visit somewhat disappointing.

This place is great to go and visit and I think everyone should go and visit while in Samaipata. It only takes about 2 hours to walk around the whole site and entry is cheap. For an extra 75bs you can get a tour guide for up to 6 people. The guides speak spanish english or french and would be a great way if you really want to learn about the history of the site. Its a beautiful place even if you want somewhere to relax.

I've been in Samaipata quite some time, and had never really been that interested in visiting, I think the fact they charge more for foreigners than locals a little biased (it's Bs50 - $7.25) to get in. Only go if the weather is good. Otherwise you will end up cold,wet and dirty even, somewhere along the trail, and you won't get to see as much, the clouds can literally hang over the place, at 1700m.I went on a bright sunny day as a friend wanted to see it, it was a pleasant walk, a fine afternoon, but I have been more impressed with other attractions around this planet. The information is sparse and in places I think assumptive, you can and perhaps should do more research on the place before visiting, to save the additional cost of a guide. I have also heard that different guides tell different stories - so you may be getting as much real information as CNN ;)All in all - for those paying for a taxi there, entrance and a guide, you'll be spending as much or more than some locals earn in a week! It's of course, up to you.
