Ambue Ari Sanctuary is located on the highway linking Trinidad and Santa Cruz. It is 349km from Santa Cruz and 202km from Trinidad. A small hut, laundry lines and signs mark our location along the highway and all bus drivers know where to stop.
Read on for specific directions on how to reach us from the cities of Santa Cruz and Trinidad:
From Santa CruzTo get to Ambue Ari Sanctuary, go to the bus terminal (tel. (3)348-8382) known as 'la terminal bimodal' or 'la nueva terminal'. Once inside the terminal, make your way to the secondary platform called 'corta distancia' by going through the tunnel (under the train tracks). This will take you to the short distance departures. From here you have two recommended options:
1. The bus company Trans Guarayos Línea 102 has daily departures at 9am, 2pm and 5pm for San Pablo, a town 1.5 hours past the centre. Be sure to tell the ticket seller and bus driver that you are going to WCC Ambue Ari or "El Parque". The journey to the centre takes 6 to 7 hours and costs 45 Bs. Make sure you are not taking any other bus to Guarayos, as this drops you off at the new bus terminal which is located outside of the city.
The 2pm departures will get you to Ambue Ari after dark so we advise you have a torch ready, walk into camp and we will hear you arrive to organize a bed for you. The 5mp bus gets into Ambue Ari quite late, so if you know you will get a late bus, please get in touch with us on Facebook or email, so we can actually wait for you.
2. There are also many minivans known as 'rapiditos' operated by Estrella del Este that cost 40 to 50 Bs. and are slightly faster (taking 4 to 5 hours). They leave as soon as they fill with seven passengers. On very rare occasions they go all the way to San Pablo and will drop you off directly outside upon request. However, most only go as far as Ascensión de Guarayos, where you will need to take another "rapidito" towards San Pablo, getting off at Ambue Ari.
From TrinidadTo get to Ambue Ari take a mototaxi to 'la parada para San Pablo'. From here you can take a 'rapidito' to San Pablo, the journey takes 1.5 to 2 hours and costs 15 to 25 Bs. Rapiditos leave as soon as they are full.
From San Pablo, take another rapidito headed for Ascensión de Guarayos and ask to be dropped off at Ambue Ari. This final leg of the journey takes 1 to 2 hours and costs 10 to 15 Bs. We recommend leaving Trinidad in the morning to ensure a timely arrival at Ambue Ari.
When you arriveAt the entrance to the centre there is a long pathway that leads into camp, follow that and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator. If they are not around, you will be shown to the office where you can store your luggage. If no one is around camp when you arrive, you can relax on the patio or comedor, where someone will be sure to find you shortly.
Please do plan to arrive before dark as we have no electricity. If you plan to arrive on a Saturday, volunteers have the day off and staff leave camp to have dinner in our local village - if you come on a Saturday please make sure you take the 9am so someone will be in camp to welcome you.
