Samaipata
Samaipata is not famous omong gringos but popular among the Santacruzeños. It is in a little valley on 1500m. Because it was lowseason and during the week, almost no soul was in town. The turist infrastructure was once again way to enormous. I checked into a hostel that also provides a platform for the young chessmaster of Bolivia. They win almost every national championship. Sadly they only play Blitz-chess, what I consider rapeing the game. My TV in the room had only 2 channels. So I decided to hike without further planing towards that "hill over there". After a 3 hours hike on an increasingly deteriorating path, at the beginning along villas of rich Santiageños (could also be local druglords, since Santa Cruz is on the drugmap), afterwards along nature, I made it to a shack. Obviously nobody takes care of it or Barney Gumble lives there. Since it was a dead end and I was far away of any toilet I took my first nature dump of the journey. Then I more or less walked back down. (Summary: 3h hike up - dump -3h hike down)
