Episode 52: First "Special" Episode of 2021 - Bolivia's ¡El Año Andino Amazónico!

For 2021, I decided to do something new for Spanish Answers and incorporate three special episodes throughout the year that would focus on interesting holidays celebrated in Spanish-speaking countries around the world. They're kind of like one big cultural tip regarding a country's unique celebration. Today's episode is my first one, focusing on El Año Andino Amazónico, which is celebrated today (June 21st)!

Remember, learning a language is a lifelong journey.
¡Aprovéchalo, Disfrútalo y Compártelo!
