Samaipata (or Santa Cruz) - Vallegrande. After lunch, visit the small museum of Vallegrande dedicated to the Comandante, with some unpublished photos, and the Lavandería, the hospital washhouse, where the lifeless body of the famous revolutionary was exposed to journalists. Then to the airfield landing strip, where, despite the animosity of the inhabitants who considered it a religious relic, Ernesto Guevara's body was found in 1999, dug up and repatriated to Cuba.
