San Ramón de la Nueva Orán

We stayed at the Hotel Alta Verde in this last small city before the Bolivian border. The hotel has very comfortable rooms, a good restaurant, a large swimming pool, & a gym. The city is dusty & cross-streets are mostly unpaved. A brilliant yellow poinciana is blooming in the main plaza outside the hotel
