After our breakfast, we bit farewell to Coroico and descent down to the valley of Coroico River, we will connect with the main road which goes to Amazonia, after several kilometres we will cross the Coroico River, and start to climb up towards Tocaña village. We will pass tropical fruit plantations and coca fields on the way. Tocaña is one of the few villages in Bolivia which is populated by the descendents of the African slaves. These people have accepted in majority the Aymara customs, and thus they dress and live like the surrounding Aymara population. After a short visit of the little village we will descent back to the Coroico River and follow it west in the Huarinilla River valley. Soon we will turn off the main road again and follow the little used track until it ends at the village of Choro, which is the end of the Choro Inca trail. Along the way we will be able to observe all kinds of tropical trees an bushes which are grown in this area (papaya, avocado, banana, coffee, and citrus trees etc.) We will stop on the way to order our lunch at the Hotel Rio Selva
We will take a short walk along a local path trailing the Huarinilla River through some tropical forest and very primitive plantations of citrus trees and coffee, with butterflies and lots of tropical flora of the area. There is also a good possibility of spotting some of the local birds. This area is skirting the boundaries of Cotapata National Park. There are views of the Choro inca trail at the other side of the Huarinilla valley.
