The pre-Inca ruins of Samaipata, located 120 kilometers from the town of Santa Cruz, are one of the most intriguing ancient sites in all of South America. Situated in the remote mountains of central Bolivia, the site is perched 1949 meters above sea level and is said to have had considerable religious significance during the pre-Inca period.

Many visitors have also sensed a special energy emanating from the red sandstone rock and the ruins.

The ruins command a panoramic view of the Andean mountain range and the lowlands.
