Due to the success that Amboró Tours has had, other tour operators have appeared with similar or same names. Even though this situation is illegal, for now, these operators do exist in different places within the Department of Santa Cruz - for example in Samaipata and Buenavista. It is because of this that we recommend that you are not taken by surprise. Amboró Tours only has offices in Santa Cruz (main office) and Buena Vista. ( where there is service only in special circumstances)

For the people who visit Bolivia in general and especially in the cities, we warn you to not let yourself be taken by fake police officers, that after asking for your passports, they try to get you into some vehicle with another supposed fake tourist accomplice to check your belongings and try to confuse you in some way, then ask for your money, “to check if it is fake”, and to the point of asking for the PIN number of your bank card.

If this does happen to you we suggest that you excuse yourself saying that at this moment you have an emergency and continue walking. Another alternative is to say that your travel agent or your hotel is half a block way and then ask them if they would like to accompany you.

Amboró Tours recommends that you be extra careful in the City Santa Cruz and when you visit the Arenal Park (few walking minutes from the main plaza) or the Cabins at the Piraí River. These places are not recommended because of the lack of security in them.
