Santa Cruz to Samaipata

---

Santa Cruz is the biggest and the most modern city in Bolivia.
We found there the best night life in Bolivia.
From there we headed to a really nice and laid back town called Samaipata, near the national park Amboro.

Just after arriving to Samaipata we heard the bad news from back home, about the developing situation in the border of Lebanon and the Gaza strip.
Ever since that moment, the trip hasn't been the same for me, as I was half preoccupied with the problems in Israel, being worried about my family and friends, checking whenever possible 'ynet' for the news.

Anyway, in Samaipata we made a few day hikes to the national park Amboro, to a nice laguna and some waterfalls near by and to the El Fuerte ruins, dated back from the Inca period. These ruins are interesting, as researchers today don't really know much about the site, so you can guess yourself about the purpose of the different artifacts.
