Ruta Verde Bolivia is a tour operator that specializes in culturally and environmentally conscious tourism, providing both pre-planned and custom tours and eco-tours throughout the country. Although they don't limit themselves to offering only adventure tourism or eco tourism, they do love Bolivia and it's beautiful natural habitats and do everything possible to ensure visitors take care of all Bolivia tourist attractions. Gijs Dijkshoorn is from Holland, and his wife Maria Eugenia Oliva is Bolivian.
Ruta Verde uses local guides for Bolivia tourism to ensure all excursions are culturally authentic and because this ensures local inhabitants will benefit from tourism. You'll see this little green tab with their logo on it on all our tour destination pages. To return to this page from any other just click on the green tab you see here: >>>>>
Because Gijs is Dutch and Maria Eugenia has also lived in Holland for many years, this sets Ruta Verde apart from other tour operators as each thoughtfully planned tour contains one element only a foreigner could provide: a foreigner’s point of view. Quite simply, details that may seem insignificant or unimpressive to a local, may be deeply touching to a wide-eyed tourist. Only someone who's lived overseas could ensure this kind of magical detail is included in the planning of each and every trip.
Ruta Verde emphasizes “leave-no-trace” touring, the preservation of wildlife habitats, conservation of endangered species, respect for local customs and traditions and other environmentally and socially responsible behaviors while touring. Each trip is an opportunity to make a difference.
Ruta Verde’s pre-planned tours include boat trips on the Amazon; trekking, birdwatching and wildlife observation tours in several of the nation’s beautiful national parks; visits to UNESCO Patrimony of Humanity sites like the Jesuit Missions circuit or the pre-Colombian Fort of Samaipata; hiking the Ruta del Che (Che Guevara Trail); amazing tours of the Pantanal (wetlands) and even city tours to learn about the history and culture of Santa Cruz.
Although their offices are located in Santa Cruz, they also offer tours to La Paz, Oruro, Lake Titicaca, the Uyuni Salt Beds, Sucre, Potosí, and many other Bolivia tourist attractions. Ruta Verde sometimes works with other travel agencies to provide Bolivia tours and chooses only the most experienced, always keeping your safety in mind.
In addition Ruta Verde Bolivia and BoliviaBella are now working together to plan the types of trips BoliviaBella visitors want. Any time Bella gets specific requests that aren't already offered, we pass the information on to Ruta Verde. This ensures their Bolivia tourism offerings fit what BoliviaBella visitors want and are asking for! Conversely BoliviaBella continually adds new information to this site, also based on what you're asking for. The idea is simple: we just try to give you want you want.
Are you more adventurous, unafraid, like to do things your own way? Don’t hesitate to contact Gijs or Maria Eugenia. They can help you plan a tour that is tailor-made just for you. In addition to Spanish, both of them also speak English and Dutch.
Ruta Verde Bolivia has been featured in several travel guides including Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Footprint Bolivia, and Footprint South America.
