Welcome the New Year at Mariposario Guembe

by Bella
(Santa Cruz, Bolivia)

This is it for New Years 2009/2010!

The Güembe Butterfly Sanctuary and Orchid Gardens in Santa Cruz is offering an AMAZING New Year's package at their facilities on December 31st, 2009 called ARY PYAHU (New Year in the Guaraní Language). A totally cultural experience! I think this is one of the most original, creative ways to spend New Years I've heard of in a long time!

The New Years Party will include a ceremony at the Lagoon at midnight - a Guaraní tradition to honor Iemanjá, Mother of All Waters. The cost is $75 for adults and $35 for children and will include:

Esto tiene que ser una de las Fiestas de Fin de Año más creativas que se ofrecerá en Santa Cruz este año! Realmente será una experiencia cultural!
