Santa Rosa de Kilo Kilo

Literally at the end of the road, the village of Santa Rosa de Kilo Kilo is located an hour further on the Suapi road. It’s a spectacular ride, in which you can see how the forest slowly changes with the difference in altitude. Just before you arrive in the village, you’ll pass the somewhat weird Kilo Kilo Alto hacienda house. From the village you can make a two hour walk (one way) to visit pre-Columbian rock drawings. You can also get there with a Jeep. The walk goes through a beautiful forest full of birds and butterflies. As the altitude is less than 1000 meters , there are lots of giant palms and it can get pretty hot. The rock drawings are a couple of meters besides the road, just before you cross a small bridge over a mountain stream. This last part of the road is quite spectacular as you pass along the ridge between the two valleys. The rivers are pretty strong, but if you’re a good swimmer you can go for a dip. If you go with a guide, ask him to bring a rope to get to the river upstream from the bridge. As there are about two groups of tourists arriving per year, the people will be quite curious about your passing by. They are honest and friendly country folks.
