Meet Abuela, Dora’s grandmother and Papi’s mother! Abuela is no stranger to the rainforest; she grew up exploring it as a little girl. Abuela LOVES to dance and sing, and she lights up every room she walks into. Abuela and Dora share a love of adventure. They often trade stories about their explorations and discoveries. Abuela firmly believes that life is for living! Whether she’s breaking out her guitar for a duet or taking the zip line with Boots, Abuela is the life of every party. Dora adores her Abuelita and knows she can always count on her for advice, hugs and at least one piece of candy or a delicious cup of hot cocoa.
