Toro Toro national park is about 4 hours away. There you can see dinosaur footprints and climb down in a big cave. Only 2 days are needed even if tourist companies says more. The road to the park is realy bad.
Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi is 4 hours into the jungle at Villa Tunari. It offers the amazing experience of looking after previously captive tropical wild animals as a volunteer. [http://www.intiwarayassi.org/]
Cochabamba is also a good point for excursions into the Chapare Region:
