1. This is a very young city

During its 500-year colonial history, the country's wealth was concentrated mainly in La Paz, Sucre and Potosí. When Potosi was the most populous city in the Americas in 1700, Santa Cruz had only 3,500 inhabitants.
If you had the opportunity to look at Santa Cruz in the 1960s or 70s, you would see a completely different city. Since the late 20th century, Santa Cruz has grown significantly due to oil and natural gas production in the surrounding area. Foreigners who came to develop and produce gas and oil changed this city beyond recognition. It became the economic heart of the country.

2. The Other Bolivia begins here

Santa Cruz is a large transportation hub. It has the largest and busiest airport in Bolivia and a major bus terminal. From here you can take a one-of-a-kind bus to Paraguay - if you're planning on visiting the country.

This is the starting point for those who want to explore hidden places not known to most tourists. Bolivia is not only Salar de Uyuni, Titicaca and high mountains - which are also definitely worth visiting.

In the Santa Cruz region you will find...

• Three large national parks located in the east and west of the city are the Amazonian paradise Noel Kempff Mercado, Kaa Lya National Park, where you can see jaguars, and Amboro National Park, home to jaguars and hundreds of species of exotic birds.
• Samaipata, a nice village where you can relax and visit the UNESCO-listed archaeological site - the ruins of Fuerte de Samaipata.
• Jesuit missions Chiquitos (UNESCO)

  and much more... Are you ready to go on a real journey?

3. The Incas failed to take over this land.

Before the arrival of the Spaniards, numerous wars took place between the Inca Empire and the nomadic tribes of Eastern Bolivia. The Guarani, Arawak or Chiquitano tribes were real rulers of the jungle and excellent hunters. The Inca Empire was never able to conquer the natives.

4. These people are a mixture of different cultures.

From here important Jesuit missions were sent to the Guarani, Chiquitanos and Guarayos tribes. The Spanish used assimilation as a tool of colonization, visiting foreigners started families with local residents - so today the inhabitants of the Santa Cruz region are the result of this unusual, long-developed mix. Here, for a long time, with the arrival of the Spaniards, the local, original culture was destroyed, but a new one was created, with its own characteristics and traditions.

5. Potosi had silver, Santa Cruz had tin

Mining was the most important industry in Bolivia. Tin and rubber became important materials after the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Before the nationalization of the tin mines in 1952, only three Bolivian families owned more than 90% of Bolivia's total wealth. Simon Patiño, owner of the tin mines, became the Tin King and one of the richest men on the planet.

7. Isolation for many years from the rest of the country

For a long time, the only way to connect Santa Cruz with the rest of Bolivia was by horse and mule, which were used to travel to the city of Cochabamba. In 1954, Brazil completed the first railway line linking Brazil to Santa Cruz. Two years later, a railway was brought here from Argentina. In 1956, the construction of an asphalt road was completed - this road became the first modern road through the Andean mountains, and finally connected Western Bolivia with Eastern Bolivia.

8. Che Guevara died here

Che Guevara chose Bolivia to spread socialism throughout South America. He and his people moved to the Chaco region. Che was shot near Quebrada del Yuro, but wounded, his friends brought him to La Higuera, still alive. Here his enemies found him again and killed him. Soon his body was taken to the Vallegrande medical center by the international press. And immediately after it disappeared without a trace... Only 30 years later it was found and sent back to his family in Cuba.

There is a tourist route that visits all these small villages associated with Che's past.

9. There is a Hard Rock Cafe here =)

This was the main reason why I started looking for this city on the map and became interested in its history. This was the only Hard Rock Cafe in Bolivia (and immediately after I left the country, they opened a second one in La Paz).

Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Spanish: Santa Cruz de la Sierra) is the largest city in Bolivia and the administrative center of the department of the same name. Located in the east of the country. Better known in the world as Santa Cruz. In terms of population, this city is far ahead of the official capital of Bolivia, the city of Sucre, and the de facto capital of La Paz.

Santa Cruz de la Sierra was founded on February 26, 1561 by Captain Nufle de Chavez, who gave the already existing settlement a new name, which means "holy cross on the hill." That was the name of his hometown in Extremadura, Spain. As in other cities they conquered or founded, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra the Spaniards made great efforts to convert the Indian tribes inhabiting this territory to the Christian Catholic faith. Today, the city is home to a large number of ancestors of those who would have been born from the marriages of the conquerors with the local population.

The original settlement of Santa Cruz de la Sierra was 220 km east of its modern location. After protracted and bitter conflicts with the indigenous population, the city was first moved to another location closer to the banks of the Rio Grande, and then to its current location on the banks of the Pirari River in 1592.

For several centuries the city played the role of a center of the Jesuits and was the site of the organization of Christian missions in South America. The city received a serious role in the life of Bolivia and resources for development only at the beginning of the 20th century, when Bolivia, after unsuccessful wars with its neighbors, realized that it was necessary to pay more attention to the development of the eastern part of the country. As a result, in the mid-50s, a road was built to the previously isolated city to Cochabamba, and then a railway was built from Santa Cruz to Brazil. Thus, the economic and demographic growth of the city was stimulated. Improvements in roads and communications, the construction of an airport, and a continuous influx of emigrants transformed the city into one of the most industrialized and important trading centers in the country during the second half of the twentieth century.

Today, Santa Cruz is not only the most populous city in Bolivia, but also the country's richest department, producing over 30% of the national GDP. Oil refining, food-flavoring and leather industries have been created here.

The climate in which the city is located should be classified as semi-tropical. The weather here is warm all year round, but cold winds called surazos, blowing from the Argentine pampas, can significantly reduce the temperature in a short time. The heaviest precipitation occurs in Santa Cruz in January and February.

Among the attractions of this Bolivian city, we highlight the following: one of the best zoos in South America, the colorful Plaza 24 de Septembre and the Cathedral located on it, the Cathedral Museum, where unique exhibits of the Jesuit missions are collected, the Natural History Museum, etc. . There are many interesting places around the city.

Center of the Department of Santa Cruz. The name of the city is translated from Spanish as "Holy Cross on the Hill". This city was founded on February 26, 1560 on the banks of the Pira River (220 km east of its current location). But 30 years later, Santa Cruz was moved to the location where it stands today.

Until the early 19th century, Santa Cruz prospered, supplying the rest of Bolivia with rice, cotton, vegetables and sugar. This continued until cheap food from Peru began to enter the country. In the twentieth century, this city became a kind of gateway to Brazil, through which at that time all trade relations with this country were conducted. This gave a new impetus to the development of Santa Cruz.

The mild climate has made this city a major tourist center of the country. Today, Santa Cruz de La Sierra has become not only the largest city in Bolivia and all of South America. The food, leather and oil refining industries are located on the territory of this city. Thus, it provides more than 30% of Bolivia's GDP.

Santa Cruz is home to the State University, many museums and Catholic cathedrals. When you come here with your family, enjoy walks in national parks that are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
