Alto-Beni


Didn't know this, but coco has different varieties, like this red one.


The Alto-Beni region has lots of different fruit: oranges, grapefruit, papaya, tangerine, guava, etc.


Typical Bolivian river boat and our picnic lunch.


The salad bar is a bit different, and so is the method of packing the picnic.

The papaya trees don't do well with other plants, so everything is cleared beforehand.


We spent last weekend in the country with a friend/coworker of ours. His parents have a farm and we enjoyed time touring around and having a traditional picnic. Very generous and nice people.

  1. Hey Guys, Hope you are enjoying your last couple of months of travel before coming home. We are looking forward to hearing all about it.
    Ray , that climb up Huayani Potosi looks like some pretty serious mountaineering to me. We will have to start calling you Sherpa Ray!
    Seriously; knowing how hard it was just to walk to the store at that altitude,...... that is quite an accomplishment.
    Safe travels and see you soon.
