What to see in Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

BySpecialist Amo

Santa Cruz de la Sierra gives this lively tropical lowland feeling that sits in clear contrast to the high Andes, with busy plazas, huge eco parks, and a few rather rare desert scenes just beyond the city limits.

Some top attractions to check out include:

  • Plaza 24 de Septiembre: A palm-lined, beating core of the city, where people meet up for coffee and for friendly chatting.
  • Biocentro Güembé: A wide nature resort with the world’s largest butterfly dome, plus orchid gardens, and also stepped, cascading water basins.
  • Lomas de Arena: A protected regional park with enormous Saharan-style sand dunes wrapped by dense tropical forest, and it’s a favourite spot for sandboarding.
