Getting there

Car

If you're driving from La Paz, take the 'Carretera a los Yungas' (Yungas Road). The journey typically takes about 2 to 3 hours. Once you reach the town of Coroico, continue on the N Yungas Rd for about 30 minutes. San Juan is located along this scenic route, marked by beautiful landscapes and lush greenery. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition as the roads can be winding and steep.

Public Transportation

For those opting for public transportation, head to the 'Cementerio' bus terminal in La Paz. Look for minibuses or buses heading to Coroico. The fare is approximately 15-20 bolivianos (around $2). The ride takes about 3 hours. Once you arrive in Coroico, you can catch a local taxi or a shared minibus heading towards San Juan for about 10-15 bolivianos (around $1.50). The trip from Coroico to San Juan will take around 30 minutes.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, hiring a taxi from Coroico to San Juan is an option. Negotiate the fare in advance; it should be around 100-150 bolivianos (approximately $14-22) for the trip. This method is more comfortable and faster, taking about 25 minutes.
