Stranded on the bumpy road between Rurrenabaque and Trinidad, the charming Amazon village of San Ignacio de Moxos is worth a thousand and one hellish bus rides.

Once you've made it here, you'll definitely want to stick around for a few lazy days, devouring mangoes straight off the tree, swinging in your hotel hammock, chatting with locals on a park bench in the leafy main plaza, cooling off in the inviting waters of Laguna Isirere or browsing the intriguing frescoes and Jesuit religious artifacts in the spacious church.
