Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia

Why Walk Santa Cruz de la Sierra

Santa Cruz de la Sierra is Bolivia's largest city and its economic engine, set in the tropical lowlands far from the highland capitals of La Paz and Sucre. The city's walkable core centers on the Plaza 24 de Septiembre, a pleasant square shaded by massive trees and surrounded by the Cathedral, the Casa de la Cultura, and colonial-era buildings. The surrounding streets, called anillos (rings), radiate outward in a pattern that makes orientation intuitive. The Mercado Los Pozos is a sprawling, authentic market selling tropical fruits, traditional remedies, and inexpensive local food. The Biocentro Guembe Mariposario, on the city's outskirts, offers a butterfly sanctuary, natural pools, and tropical gardens. Santa Cruz serves as the gateway to the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos — a UNESCO World Heritage circuit of beautifully preserved 18th-century mission churches in the surrounding countryside.
