Starting point for visiting the park is Cochabamba or the small little town of Torotoro, which lies about 110 km outside of Cochabamba. It is recommended to visit the park in an organized tour with a guide. Only few tourists visit the park. Therefore little infrastructure is given. You will find only few basic accommodations and restaurants. Tourism is however increasing . During the rain season the park is often not accessible. To reach the park in the rain season it is recommended to take an airplane from Cochabamba. For more information see the website of SERNAP, http://www.sernap.gov.bo.
