16D/15N REFERENCE PROGRAM Round trip Bolivia
This round trip Bolivia program is designed for travelers who wish to explore some of the highlights of the different geographic zones of Bolivia from the Amazon basin to the valleys and Andean mountains. If you have the time, we suggest to start the trip in Santa Cruz (Amazon basin) and to gradually continue towards higher places in order to get used to the altitude.

Day 2-3
2D/1N Jesuit Missions tour.
The Chiquitania is the name of the place where Jesuit reductions were settled in the actual territory of Bolivia during the second half of the XVII century (from 1691 until 1760). They remain in time as an extraordinary legacy because they are the only Jesuit missions in South America which were not destroyed after the Jesuits were expulsed from the Spanish colonies. They are not ruins but villages full of life, with people who still go to mass in the same majestic churches or to enjoy the same baroque music concerts, in the same way their ancestors used to do when the Jesuit ruled these missions three centuries ago.
