Introducing Cobija (Bolivia)
The capital of Bolivia’s Pando department is the wettest spot in Bolivia, with 1770mm of precipitation annually. It is a hilly town on the banks of the Rio Acre, with a pleasant enough plaza but a somewhat gritty atmosphere. Prices in this section are listed in bolivianos (B$), which at the time of research was trading at roughly R$1 to B$4, or US$1 to B$8. That doesn’t mean you’ll need Bolivian money right away, however. In Cobija you can use Brazilian reais to pay for just about everything.
