Santa Rosa de Kilo Kilo sits at the very end of the Suapi road, about an hour beyond Coroico and well off any beaten track. The village sees perhaps two groups of tourists a year, which is part of its appeal: this is the Yungas at its most remote, with no infrastructure for visitors and no pretence of catering to them. If you come, come prepared and come curious.
The journey there is the first reward. The road climbs and descends through changing bands of forest, and as the altitude shifts so does the vegetation, from cloudforest to lusher subtropical growth lower down. Just before the village you pass the curious old Kilo Kilo Alto hacienda house, a relic of an earlier era of estate farming in these hills.
The main draw beyond the village itself is a set of pre-Columbian rock drawings, reached by a two-hour walk each way. The trail runs through beautiful forest full of birds and butterflies, with giant palms at the lower elevations, before climbing a ridge between two valleys. The drawings sit beside the path just before a small bridge over a mountain stream. The rivers here run strong, but confident swimmers can find a place to cool off. Treat Santa Rosa as a full day out from Coroico, and ask locally before setting off for the rock art.
