BO-130a

Sculptured rock of the Samaipata Ruins in the Department of Santa Cruz. It is listed in the UNESCO heritage list under the name, Fuerte de Samaipata. It is a pre-Hispanic remnant. Thank aka_lusi for showing me a Bolivian heritage site.

This postcard needs a postage fee of Bs10.50 and the stamp used here is "Salar de Uyuni" (a salt flat in Potosí). A big rectangular postmark was used to cancel it. The upper part read as "Empresa de Correos di Bolivia" and followed by ECOBOL. The lower part is "Expendio de ?" (Retailing of ?) and followed by "Santa Cruz". It was sent on 13.12.2008 from Santa Cruz. There ia another small round shape postmark. It is a postage check (control porte) mark of ECOBOL in Santa Cruz. Pencil marking was found near here too and it looks like "HK5". No idea what does it meant. Any linkage between this marking with its late arrival?
