Bolivia - A taste of the tropics

Los Yungas and El Beni

I opted to take the 4 hour bike ride down the Road of Death (from La Paz to Coroico), when after small glitch (bad fall) had to stay overnight before taking 26 hour bus ride to Rurrenabaque. The latter is the gateway pueblo to Madidi national park (wild boar, pumas, etc.), savana, and Pampas marshland (anacondas, piranhas etc) where only wild things are. We tried to hunt, but failed miserably, and were forced to eat a turtle in desperation...
