After lunch in hotel Esmeralda we will drive up the Calvary, from where we will have beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, then we will return back to Coroico and we will drive into the coca growing region to see the infamous coca plant.
After we see the coca fields we will drive down along little used track to Santa Barbara river. Here we walk along the river and see lush tropical forest, butterflies and if weather and water level permits we might even have a short dip in small pools of water, called the Vagante pools.
We return to Coroico, bit a farewell to it, and decent down to the village of Yolosa, typical transit village, full of cheap restaurants and market stalls for the transit passengers who continue through here to Rurrenabaque and Amazonia. And from here we start our long climb back to the Cordillera Real and through the Cumbre pass back down to La Paz and to your hotel.
