Dude I spent 2 months in SC back in early 2022 while I was nomading around Latam for 1 year . I really enjoyed it! Its super underrated and generally Bolivia is underrated! One of my fav countries in Latam. <br><br>Please keep SC as hidden gem as possible lol probably this city even did grow good enough in the last 3 years since my time there. But back in 2022 prices werent that cheap as bolivianos was stronger, now I see they are like Argentina wth blue rate and it makes it there cheaper. I will probably go back to SC in 2026. Thanks for reminding me good memories from there. Ps. Hint There were also decent latinas there with low competition as there is no passport bros yet lol hope its still same now. Cheers dude 🫡

BEEN OVER THERE TWICE IN THE LAST 12 YEARS AS MY WIFE IS FROM SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA IS A POOR COUNTRY BUT SANTA CRUZ IS THE MOST MODERN CITY IN BOLIVIA AND VERY INEXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN NOT TO MENTION THE WEATHER IS INCREDIBLE FOR OVER 10 MONTHS OF THE YEAR, THE BOLIVIANS ARE SUCH HARD WORKING PEOPLE BUT THEY ARE ALSO VERY LOVELY PEOPLE, WILL BE BACK IN SANTA CRUZ NEXT YEAR AND HOPEFULLY SPENDING MANY SUMMERS THERE FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.

Nice content man, glad to see Bolivia is catching the eye of youtubers, nomads and such, as a local if I may say a couple of things: important to say the prices are not what you experienced anymore, it was a crazy year last year in that regard, You came in a very very fortunate time to come spend dollars as a foreigner. So for anyone watching make sure you checkout the exchange rate before coming, it will not be the same. On the other hand and Also very important to say, you were moving only in the most expensive area and went to some of the most expensive restaurants in the city, and not necessarily the best quality for the price, so people might get something better for cheaper or way better for the same or a little more. Los Hierros the steak place for example used to be very famous but now it's by far NOT the best place for meat although the best ones will be at very similar prices. Also rent for those little apartments is very overpriced, but off course it depends on your interest and priorities, but you can can find something bigger (twice the size) and better (in some ways) for the same or just a little more just not right there in the "Trendy" area. FInal note, Santa Cruz is very expensive compared to the rest of Bolivia, checkout other cities like La Paz, COchabamba or for a more chill smaller town vibe like Tarija And Sucre each with its great things, pros and cons. COme back soon!
