Espejillo waterfalls
About this Tour
Espejillos Park is the perfect place to cool off with the family in the warm temperatures in Santa Cruz - right in the middle of Amboró National Park. There are countless bathing spots and waterfalls in the park. The highlight is the large waterfall at the end of the path with a height of 80 meters. If you follow the "officially forbidden path" over the waterfall and follow the river, you will reach another small waterfall with a small stalactite cave. The park is only accessible with a four-wheel drive car, as you have to cross the Piraí River to reach it.

Jardín de las Delicias
Espejillos is the better-known destination for splashing around. Jardin de las Delicias is more of an insider tip. The special thing here is that you can be abseiled down the waterfall by trained staff ("El rappel"). It is a spectacular feeling when you are suspended in the air in front of the waterfall. In addition to the waterfall right at the entrance, there is a hiking trail that takes several hours and leads to 3 other waterfalls. The trail is beautiful and runs right through the Amboró National Park.
Ecoparque La Rinconada
Rinconada Park is smaller than Guembe, but for me personally it is the best maintained and most beautiful park around Santa Cruz. It is famous for the huge Victoria boliviana water lilies (Bolivian giant water lily) – a world record leaf measuring 3.2m in diameter was discovered here in 2022! It also features beautifully landscaped gardens with koi ponds. There are fewer animals than in Guembe, but a more relaxed atmosphere and also some action attractions for children (slides, small zip lines). A perfect place to switch off.
