Travel guide to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia | Aliz’s Wonderland

Santa Cruz de la Sierra was a totally different world after visiting Uyuni, La Paz and Copacabana. The mountain scenery and high altitude changed to humid weather, modern vibes and less poverty. I’d say not authentic Bolivia. However, we liked this other type of Bolivia with its exceptional flora and fauna.

What a beautiful city, I want to go to Santa Cruz de la Sierra

[@alizswonderland]

Thanks a lot :) I'm happy you feel this way! If you get there, don't miss the Biocenter and you can also check out my blog post (link in the description) for more information ;)

It is a beautiful city full of colors and cultures but be careful with the drug dealers there and the sex trafficking.

Our beautiful City! The Bolivian Eden that no one knows of. We were annexed to Bolivia ex Brazilian and Argentinian territory. Our gastronomy or culture and our people are distinct from the Highland neighbors! Proud to be Cruceña, daughter of Santa Cruz De la Sierra! one of the founding families of our beautiful City!

Such a beautiful city 🥰

SANTA CRUZ DE LA CIERRA IS A LAND WHERE THE AYOREAN INDIANS POPULATION ABOUNDS, APPROXIMATELY 97% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION OF SANTA CRUZ ARE AYOREAN INDIANS, AND THE REST 3% MESTIZO. SANTA CRUZ weather is very warm, generally all year round.

I have a question. My girlfriend life’s there in Santa Cruz de la sierra and I want to visit her. But the problem is i don’t speak Spanish. I can speak a little bit but not much. Is that a problem? Because my girlfriend said that there are not many tourist so they don’t speak much English. Can you help me with that?

[@alizswonderland]

I don't speak Spanish either, just a few words, but we were fine. We spoke English and locals kind of understood or didn't, who knows 😁 Just go and have fun in Santa Cruz ☺️

[@lorenabrown9311]

My husband is american and he speaks only english. You should go and visit and ask your girlfriend to translate for you, you can also use goodle tranlate, that helps a lot.

[@bryanysihara5999]

Why did you stop making videos

[@alizswonderland]

Thanks for the question. Lack of time and different priorities, though I have many raw videos and ideas, so I'm planning to return :)

[@tokkmouydokhtv3760]

je suis actuellement au Sénégal qu'elle visa pour aller au Bolivie

[@Euphoricjoe]

I scrolled through 16 different doco’s on seeing Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Yours was the only one I enjoyed because it gives you more vast opportunities to see the land rather than a war on drugs which after watching I disagree on! It’s the Bolivian’s way of living and for the US to bully their indigenous tribes on their way of living is horrendous! Shame on the US and the US embassy! God bless the Bolivian’s of all sides and tribes!! Larga vida bolivia!!

[@alizswonderland]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) luckily, I didn't witnessed anything what you mentioned about the flights.

*Los días que estuvimos nos quisieron robar, había también otra gente que no sé salvo y le sacaron todo su dinero.*

[@alizswonderland]

I don't speak Spanish, so I used Google translate and it says that you were robbed?! I'm so sorry to hear it, for us it looked safer than La Paz, though we were also careful.

[@gingermarie1760]

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.
