Bus
The
bus terminal
(
663-6508)
is at the east end of town, a 20-minute walk from the
center along Victor Paz Estenssoro. Annoyingly, if you are looking for a quick getaway,
almost all services leave in the afternoon between 4:30pm and 8:30pm. Services to Santa
Cruz pass through Villamontes from where there are connections to Yacuiba and Asun-
ción in Paraguay, though frustratingly the latter pass through in the early hours of the
morning meaning you'll have to wait almost 20 hours for your onward ride.
