Saturday

The time had come to wrap up our trip as we prepared for Saturday, our final day in Cochabamba. After sleeping in a little, we attended dance classes and learned about traditional Bolivian folkloric dances. Taught and popular all across Bolivia and unique to each region and group of people, these dances are an important part of Bolivian culture. Each dance was accompanied by a traditional costume that we got to see. After learning about all of the dances, we got to try a few of them out ourselves and had a great time learning the steps. We then enjoyed one final Bolivian buffet for lunch and then went off for our last activity. Not far from our hostel, there is a park with huge slides that are a popular attraction. Our group went down the slides a few times to close out our trip and headed back to the hotel to pack. After sad goodbyes to Jean Carla, Rolando, and Cochabamba, we started out for another long day-night-day of travel.
