To experience the other side of Bolivia, it’s essential to head east into the sweltering jungle.

In one day you can go from wearing a down jacket on the Altiplano to shorts and a T-shirt in the sticky jungle.

The region of Santa Cruz de la Sierra is an outpost of agriculture, mostly rice, sugar and soy, and also the gateway to Brazil and Argentina by train.
