Las Yungas

We were blessed to be able to discover new parts of Bolivia during our holiday season. Our family took a Christmas trip to the Yungas. The Yungas is a jungle region about 2 1/2 hours down the mountain from the capital city of La Paz. This section of Bolivia is the perimeter region of the Amazon jungle. It is lush, tropical and very green. The climate is completely different than what we have been experiencing in Sucre. As expected, it is hot, humid, and there are all kinds of different insects and animals.

We stayed at a resort call Rio Selva (The River Jungle). Below are some of our pictures. We had a wonderful time together!
