Roboré is a small town on the edge of Bolivia's eastern lowlands, in South America. It is a quiet place, best suited to travellers who want to slow down and use it as a base for the countryside around it rather than as a destination in its own right.
Setting and surroundings
The town sits where the Andes meet the tropical plains, and the landscape changes noticeably as you move between the two. Its surroundings are said to hold a range of ecosystems, which makes the area appealing to anyone interested in how the land shifts from mountain to lowland.
What to visit nearby
- Hot springs in the area, a relaxing stop after a day on the road or trail.
- Unusual rock formations, which give the surrounding countryside much of its character.
Is it right for you?
Roboré suits visitors who value natural scenery and a calm pace. Because the town is small, plan ahead for accommodation, transport and any guided outings, and allow time to move between the springs, the rock formations and the wider ecosystems you want to explore. If you come with an interest in nature and the meeting point of Andean and tropical landscapes, the town offers a practical and peaceful place to base yourself.
