Santa
Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia

Its museums, festivals, and culinary scene reflect both indigenous and colonial
influences. The city is also a gateway to the Amboró National Park and the
Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos.

Santa Cruz offers world-class comfort with panoramic rooftop views, themed
evenings, and a prime location for discovering the region’s biodiversity and
history.

despite its name, charms with quiet beaches and calm waters. Playa Cerritos,
with its golden sand and dramatic sunsets, is ideal for solitude, while Barras
de Piaxtla enchants with cliffside views and unspoiled beaches.
At
