Tour to Sama Reserve & Laguna Grande of Tajzara

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Tarija and head to the Cordillera de Sama Biological Reserve, known as Sama Reserve.

The tour will start by heading west towards the eastern mountain range of Sama, characterized by a rugged topography of slopes, plateaus, and lagoons. Along the way, you'll also be able to admire the views of Tarija's central valley and its rocky landscapes.

We'll first make a stop in the village of San Lorenzito, then continue to the nature reserve. We'll visit key points like the La Falda Tunnel, where we’ll admire the altiplano landscape, and Iscayachi, notable for its adobe church.

At noon, we'll take a break for a picnic lunch with a sandwich, water, and fruit.

After a panoramic walk through the Sama Reserve, we’ll proceed to the Laguna Grande of Tajzara, a natural area surrounded by golden sand dunes. Here, you'll have time to enjoy the scenery and see flamingos along the lake shores.

Next, we'll visit the town of Copacabana for an artisan weaving workshop before returning to Tarija. We aim to drop you off at the pickup point between 4 and 5 pm.
