City Sightseeing Tour of Modern and Colonial Santa Cruz

Colonial meets Modern in Santa Cruz -Half Day

Visit the famous museums and churches of Santa Cruz and pick up some fine handicrafts on this tour


Overview
Enjoy a sightseeing tour of the largest and richest city of Bolivia, Santa Cruz. Founded in 1561 by a Spaniard, this city still retains its colonial flavor despite its obvious affluence and growth.

Walk down streets lined with colonnade-supported awnings and see the city’s magnificent cathedral in the main plaza. The museum of the cathedral has religious artifacts and a thumbnail-sized book!

Other interesting attractions include the House of Culture, the San Roque Church and the Contemporary Art Museum. Get a glimpse of Bolivia’s lowland culture at the Ethnographic Museum, one of the major tourist attractions of Santa Cruz. Pick up some fine handicrafts, leatherwork, hammocks and beautiful weavings made by Bolivia’s rural women at the Arte Campo.
