Our second destination with Sara was Santa Cruz de la Sierra! We were so excited to see the sand dunes, enjoy the sun and have a little bit of fun so we got Sara's friend Zac to join us too. This trip to Santa Cruz was like taking a little holiday from a holiday, it was all about having fun. For me, it was nice to take a break from La Paz, and just let everything go and enjoy the company of my lovely Sara and all the new people we were about to meet.
We headed straight to the hostel Jodanga (best hostel I've ever been to and also has the best owner Gustavo!) that I discovered the last time I was in Santa Cruz, and it was no disappointment, the atmosphere in that place is just one of a kind.
The next day we went to the long-waited sand dunes, Lomas de Arena, to do some sand-boarding and drink some beers. The way to the dunes was the best, we got there in the back of an open van. The ride was so much fun, although it hurt my butt a little bit, haha. The landscapes on the way were also nice, the sun was shining strongly and on the way we saw cows, a little chicken family, a bit of the country side of Santa Cruz and the last part was just driving through this protected savannah area, all beautiful.
Once we got to the dunes and found a good place, we started the best part of the trip: sand-boarding. At first, I was very scared of doing in it, but it actually was the easiest thing ever and so much fun!
In the end we were a little tired (or maybe it was the effect of the beer) and we just started to fool around, Zac doing some rolly-polling (maybe the best word I learned on this trip) and me and Sara just sliding the hill sitting on the board like two little kids, using James's words: it was genious!
After all the sun, sand and partying we did the two days, the last day was a little more chilled. We went to the zoo and saw these adorable sloths! They were so cute, might be my favorite animal from now on!
