2026-04-09: After a short wait, we were riding through the rain and mist to Samaipata. We didn't travel a lot in the area as we just walked at the hotel and around town.
2026-04-10: We got an early start from Samaipata heading toward Cochabamba. The weather did not look good for the Tocuman Parrot, so we skipped that journey.
