Question

Is this picture a monte or bosque?

Just edited so that we could see the picture right here. - Gekkosan, Jun 11, 2010

Answer 1

I belive that it is the bed of a river almost dry.

Answer 2

Es un monte boscoso.

I'd say it's neither, actually. Looks like more like "un paisaje semi-desértico" o un "paisaje de playa".

Answer 3

Just look up the words monte and bosque in the SpanishDict dictionary. If you know what they mean, it is immediately apparent which of the two the image depicts.

Answer 4

Good question!

When I describe where I live to Spanish speakers I'm never really sure which word to use - "el monte" or "el bosque" - I don't think it's all that clear.

Where I live in English it is described as "bush" or "scrub"

"el monte" is scrubland or woodland "el bosque" is wood or forest.

Answer 5

It looks like an everglade - un pantano

Answer 6

Do you know what "monte" and "bosque" mean? If not, look it up in the dictionary, and then you can decide for yourself.
