Start lesson 1How it is used in Bolivia
Addresses in Santa Cruz work by a string of visible landmarks (a gate, a park, a corner shop) far more than by a street number, riders and technicians navigate by referencia, not by number.
Bolivians give and take directions by landmarks (a plaza, a church, a known corner) more than by exact addresses. Keep one in mind so you can always say where you are.
