Bolivia's lowland economic capital — tropical parks, Jesuit missions nearby, and the gateway to the Amazon.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra is Bolivia's largest city — a tropical commercial city on the Chiquitanian lowlands, the opposite of La Paz: warm, modern, and vibrant. The Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos are UNESCO World Heritage, the most accessible Amazon region is here, and the city's plaza fills every evening.
