I was expecting the weather in the Amazon to be very warm, but I was aware that there was a chance of a suraso, a southern wind. Some days it was sunny and 90 degrees, but for two days out of the week, the suraso came and it was raining heavily and super windy.
In Santa Rita, I mostly saw farm animals and a lot of bugs. The family I visited had two dogs in the family, a pig, a cat, and a few chickens. There were also donkeys and small cows in the community. There are also many small birds and big spiders, neither of which I saw.
Later in the week I visited Parque Amboro, located at the foot of the Andes, still in the tropical region of Bolivia. We visited a part of the park that is called "a dry tropical forest," not because it's really dry, but because wet tropical forests are even more wet In the dry tropical forest, there are trees called helechos that are about 1,000 years old that also exist in Australia.
