El Jardín de las Delicias (The Garden of Delights) PDF Print E-mail

This entrance to Amboró National Park is through the municipality El Torno, at kilometer 36 of the same road that passes through La Guardia and leads to Samaipata. One exist through a side street, crosses the Piraí river once more, and then begins a fascinating adventure that almost seems designed for a “rally” type tour, as in the next 20 kilometers one crosses the Surutú river over and over again, more than thirty times until finally one reaches the Jardín de las Delicias.

A small shelter has been built there with two bedrooms with double beds and two bedrooms with bunk beds that can shelter four persons each; bathrooms and a kitchen. The place is still not fully functional, and does not have a good communications system, but this is being implemented.

The interesting thing about the Jardín de las Delicias is that one can go on a short walk that becomes spectacular. Just a few steps away from the cabins, one reaches the top part of a waterfall over 80 meters high, which can be observed from different angles as one descends by a rather well designed path.

The visit to the Jardín de las Delicias has the double attraction of a route that seems to have been designed to feel the pleasure of driving a 4-wheel vehicle, and the pleasure of enjoying the view of a very generous deep waterfall.
