Getting There & Away
The route between San Ignacio and San José (via San Rafael de Velasco and San Miguel
de Velasco) suffers from a confused, irregular and frequently changing timetable. At the
time of writing there was a single 7am or 2pm departure on alternate days between the
two towns, but we recommend that you check locally for the latest departure times. Buses
from Santa Cruz depart daily from the bimodal terminal between 4pm and 6pm (B$50,
five hours), though the road is in a terrible state.
Easily the easiest and most comfortable way to travel between San José and Santa Cruz
or Quijarro is by train. You'll need to show your passport on purchasing your ticket and
again to access the platform.
