Beautiful place with lush nature. Super recommended to go with family to spend the day. I had a very good lunch, I requested a modification to a silver, since I do not consume animal products and they graciously prepared it. If you have the opportunity to visit this city, stop by this magnificent place that you will surely like as much as I do. Thank you so much

We are not a big fan of water parks but the fresh spring waters of this oasis were just perfect to freshen up. Various ecosystems are rebuild with some fun jungle gyms that are fun for kids and adults alike. The onsite restaurant with a great view over the pond is a good bet with a delicious kekeri sandwich and the best cheese empenadas we have had so far in Bolivia.

We had a lovely day here on a Tuesday. There were very few people so it was love and quiet. The plants, birds, butterflies and monkeys were an absolute pleasure to enjoy. Lunch at the restaurant was delicious and affordable. We didn’t use the pools. So the 60 bs entrance fee was affordable and well worth it!!

Paid tour and if it includes a pool, it's not cheap. However, the park is well worth it for adults and children.
There are numerous interventions along the route, such as slides, swings, fun bridges, all surrounded by nature. In addition to a garden that simulates rain.
Everything is beautiful and organized.

Just beautiful! There are amazing water lilies as well as water features and a small rainforest. The restaurant has ample seating. You're definitely gonna want bug repellant and sunscreen. It's a reasonable Uber ride from the city and I highly recommend checking it out.

We visited La Rinconada while traveling in Santa Cruz. It’s a beautiful location, with tremendous botanical sites of native pant species. You walk through tropical forests with ponds, rivers and waterfalls. There are some children activities such as huge swings, zip lines and slides. We bought the full ticket which includes lunch of transitional Bolivian food in a very serene setting. You also have access to various swimming pools.
We want to specially me to mention Mr. Serumaniyar, who is the massage therapist, a very nice and wise gentleman from Sri Lanka, his massages and philosophies are great.

The buffet was excellent, the staff were excellent and the park itself was absolutely beautiful. The kids had a blast on all the swings and hammocks and there is a zip line also. We highly recommend this place for family or couples. Again....worth the 45 Boliviano taxi drive and entry fee, which included the buffet...drinks sold separately.

I last visited La Rinconada back in 2012 and was quite impressed with it then and I was looking forward to seeing what changes had been made. The biggest surprise was the swimming pool complex which was under construction in 2012 was now complete. No depth is greater than 1m 30cm so don't expect high diving and Olympic standards but the layout was good, the changing rooms had full facilities including paper towels and toilet paper (believe me this is rare!). The buffet was not available on the day of our visii so lunch was ordered early (before we went exploring) so that it would be ready at a specific time (nice touch). Most spectacular of all were the hundreds of different Bromeliads of every conceivable colour as well as many flowering shrubs and exotic succulents. There was even a section where the 'Jungle' was misted to simulate rain forest environments. Apart from the pools there were lots of playthings for children including a zip wire and some enormous swings. All in all a very enjoyable day and we will not wait 7 years before we visit next time.

A fantastic place to visit, it has a replica of the worlds largest Queen Victoria waterlily, which was grown here. Food is expensive but the buffet on sundays is great. Good activities for kids as well.
My only gripe that with all the deforestation in Santa-cruz it would if been nice of the owners to leave more native vegetation, we saw a few poor Sloth outside La Rinconada in just a few trees surrounded by exotic palms so it could be a bit more wild if they had native areas so the remaining Sloths, Toucans and monkeys have a refuge.

We finally made it out to La Rinconada and we were impressed. It is smaller than Güembe, but nice in it’s own regard. They had a lot of different sections and our children really enjoyed all that was offered. If/when we come across another good deal purchasing tickets, we’ll go again.
The food was good, but it is quite expensive so make sure you bring plenty of money.

La Rinconada is a place where your spirit finds at ease, the multichromatic combination of colors is amazing, a walk around is a must do activity.
I'll recommend people visiting this place to go and try the tea time option, with the variety of options on typical specialties offered.

La Rinconada is an amazing man made botanical garden, they put so much effort into it. Was so beautiful. Spent all day here, relaxing listening to the birds!
