Toro Toro national park is about 4 hours away. There you can see dinosaur footprints and climb down in a big cave. Only 2 days are needed even if tourist companies says more. The road to the park is realy bad.

Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi is 4 hours into the jungle at Villa Tunari. It offers the amazing experience of looking after previously captive tropical wild animals as a volunteer. [1]

Cochabamba is also a good point for excursions into the Chapare Region:

• The non-profit organization Fundacion Delpia[2]"Fundacion para el desarrollo local de los pueblos indigenas amazonicos-andinos" organizes tours to the National Park Isiboro Sécure and visits to local indigenous communities (4-5 days). Visitors can choose to get either integrated into the daily life of the local families (fishing, cooking, hunting, sleeping in traditional hut etc) or touring the national park with an indigenous guide by foot or canoe (sleeping in tents)
