Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The young Bolivia
Santa Cruz is different from the other province of Bolivia. It represents in full the contrast between the traditional Bolivia and the new one. The "young" one, I'd say.
Ps: the only portrait format pic is Cotoca, a nice little town close to Santa Cruz.
In Santa Cruz it's possible to meet people wearing the "pollera" and people chilling in one of the few super modern shopping center. It's crazy how these two lifestyle live side by side.
I've noticed also in other Bolivian cities this contrast. But here it's super clear how the young generation look at the Western world. The way they got dressed, the music they listen to, the places where they go on holiday.
It's definitely not a touristic city. But there are many parks where to rest during the hot and humid days. After all we are close to Amazzonia. ItsI a very fertile and rich area.
I would recommend to visit Santa Cruz. Not only for its intriguing night life bus also for its position. It's very close to Samaipata or Bermejo and other beautiful little village. Last but not least it's the starting point of the Jesuits route. From here you can take a bus to visit few villages and appreciate the churches the Jesuits erected when they first came here. Something similar it's visible just in Paraguay and nowhere else.
