Country Clubs in Santa Cruz
Country clubs abound in Santa Cruz, Bolivia where the tropical climate drives people outdoors for fun and entertainment. The weather here has EVERYTHING to do with how people spend their free time. With over 300 sunny days per year, only 2 months of winter (if you can even call it that), and a society that loves to show itself off anyway, country clubs are a natural extension of life in Santa Cruz.
In a city of just under 2 million, there is an extraordinarily high number of country clubs per capita. Most are members-only and a one-time share must be purchased. Monthly fees apply after that. At those that do open their doors to the public at times, entry fees are pricey in Bolivian terms but may not seem so to some foreigners. So if you can afford to take day to do nothing except enjoy yourself in the sun, check these out:
