La perla del Oriente

Yes still in Bolivia, right now in Cochabamba but ive been to the ORIENTE with the collection of the finest churces in Bolivia. and maybe the Most beautiful ive ever seen. started in Robore an old military outpost where ive made friend with the local chicha saleswoman. also with one of the colonel lived there. nearby robore is santiago de chiquito where one they have erected one of the ten jesuits temples. didnt know that there are no transportation back to the robore i have walked back 20 km to robore on my havaianas which richt now i have strained one of my foot. in robore it self there is a fine walk through the forest and to the waterfal (didnt went there). after robore i went to san Jose, with it`s magnificent cathedral and after that i went city hopping (san ignacio, San miguel y san rafael) and ended in concepcion with one of the most magnificent temple. the fine carved benches and the pillars and all the woods resemblence the life of Jesus as carpenter (but thats my own conclusion). But the gilded altar and the paintings on the wall were a big contrary of all that humbleness. i guess it´s one of the times that i would say a picture says more than 1000 words
