Old Trade Road
from Samaipata to Sucre or v.v., private tour, 2 days

On the first day we will focus our attention on the legendary Che Guevara.
In Vallegrande we will visit the Sr. de Malta Hospital. Here you can see the laundry basin where Che Guevara's corpse was shown to the world press and his farewell letter to his children painted on a wall.
Next visit will be to the well documented Che Guevara Museum and the mausoleum where Che was buried for over 30 years. We will also go to the place where Tania Bunke, the only female guerrilla fighter that was killed during the combats, was buried.
We'll have lunch in Vallegrande as well.

In the afternoon we'll drive via picturesque Pucará to the community of La Higuera. This is a beautiful part of the day where condors can be seen regularly. In Pucará we'll make a stop to stroll through the small streets and maybe you would like to have a chat with the friendly inhabitants.
Time permitting, we will take a scenic route with views to the Río Grande via Abra del Picacho to La Higuera.
In La Higuera we will have a look at the three statues in honour of Che and we will visit the school where Che got executed in 1967. Nowadays the school building holds a small museum.

We will enjoy dinner and spend the night in La Higuera in the quiet and romantic hostel, which used to be the telegraphist's house in Che's time.

On the second day we will start our travel to Sucre. It will take 7 to 8 hrs. driving in total to cover this distance. We will set off early so that we can make several stops along the way.
