On the way to Coroico we passed the jagged Cordillera mountains only to emerge into lush forest.
Below are my mom and dad sitting in a field of Coca, the same plant used to make Cocaine. The Coca leaf only takes 4 hours to dry once it is picked, then it is ready to be sold (not in cocaine form, the locals chew the leaves for a multitude of medicinal purposes).
