Honestly, the most interesting place we visited this week was Up Close Bolivia, nestled in the heart of the Jupapina valley. Here on the organization's property, there are three volunteer houses, Emma and Rolando's family house and a small campground. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful. There is an overwhelming sense of calmness and serenity. It is truly like no other place we have ever visited before.
