Regional Parc Lomas de Arena, Regional park in Andrés Ibáñez Province, Bolivia

Regional Parc Lomas de Arena is a protected area of sand dunes and dry forest in Andrés Ibáñez Province, Bolivia. The landscape mixes open sand with patches of trees and small lagoons, creating a varied terrain for walking and wildlife watching.

The area was declared a regional park to protect the dunes and dry forest from urban growth. Over time, it has become a managed conservation area with limited visitor facilities.

The dunes are a popular spot for local families and groups from nearby Santa Cruz, who come for day trips and picnics. On weekends, you might see people sandboarding or simply walking along the ridges, enjoying the open space.

Visitors should bring water, sun protection, and sturdy shoes, as the sand can get hot and the trails are not always shaded. It is best to go with a guide or join a tour, since some areas lack clear signs and the terrain can be confusing.

The sand here is thought to have been shaped by wind over thousands of years, forming dunes that shift slightly with the seasons. Visitors often notice small tracks of insects and lizards crossing the sand, signs of life in a seemingly barren place.
