Thirdly Che had picked an area in which their was no food, water nor animals to kill, thus having no supplies to feed the guerrillas. Fourth and lastly the US trainned Bolivian commandos in specifically fighting and engaging the rebels. Thus Che failed to make any success in igniting a Bolivian revolution.

Santa Cruz is a city in Bolivia that over one and a half million people call home. This is a city that has been growing at an astonishing rate over the past fifteen years. This has made the city very diverse ethnically and quite muticultural.

However, Santa Cruz has been able to preserve it’s traditional culture. An easy way to see this is by taking a look at all of the traditional Bolivian foods that are widely available in the city. The popular food in Santa Cruz makes use of yuca, squash, plantains, peanuts, corn, and the popular local fish, pacu, and surubi. There is also a Jewish kosher influence, which is evidenced by the lack of much pork in many of the local dishes and the separation of milk products and meat. A variety of ingredients and flavors are available to be enjoyed by diners, due to the agricultural richness of the Santa Cruz area.

Santa Cruz is a great place to visit for any lover of fine cuisine.
