Regions

Misiones Jesuiticas is a touristic destination in the Chiquitos province of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. This is a very unique place in the continent because these are the only Jesuit Missions in South America that 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 they used to do when the Jesuit ruled these missions three centuries ago.

The majestic churches designed by the Swiss architect, musician and Jesuit Martin Schmidt have been declared Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO

The tour operator Ruta Verde organizes trips to these Missions. [www.rutaverdebolivia.com/Jesuit-Missions-Route.php]
