Hikes in Samaipata

Looking for some easy - moderate hikes in Samaipata. Preferably overnight, I would love to do something for 4-8 nights. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

4-8 nights in Samaipata would be way to much time for me. El Fuerte is worth a half day trip and there are a couple of tour operators there. We found http://www.benverhoeftours.com/tourssamaipataeng.html to be quite helpful, if expensive for Bolivia. Their website has descriptions of the hikes available. Ruta. Verde tours in SC are also a well known operator in the area but we found them somewhat less than helpful when we asked about tours in the area ( all seemed like too much trouble!)

Thanks for the website. Did you do anything other than El Fuerte in Samaipata? I would like to visit Amboro Park. What was the most worth-while excursion/hike you did there?

Apart from a few hikes out into the surrounding countryside, El Fuerte was our main reason for being in Samaipata. We had intended to stay longer but had a bad experience with the guesthouse we stayed in so moved on sooner than expected.
Amboro seemed to be the other main reason for visiting Samaipata but as we were on our way to. Madidi we decided to give it a miss.

Some photos and details of our time there on our blog
