Santa Cruz

 Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz de la Sierra was founded in 1561 by the Spaniard Nuflo de Chaves, 220km east of its current location. Around the end of the 16th century, however, it proved vulnerable to indigenous attack and was moved to its present position, 50km east of the Cordillera Oriental foothills.

Over the past four decades, Santa Cruz mushroomed from a backwater cow town of 30,000 to its present position as Bolivia's second largest city, with its population well over a million. The concurrent explosion of the cocaine trade may not be coincidental. Though growth continues at a phenomenal rate, this cosmopolitan city on the edge of a retreating wilderness retains traces of its dusty past: It has direct flights to Miami and Europe, but sloths still laze in trees in the main plaza. Visitors enjoy the tropical ambience and frontier feel, and it's a good base for exploring some still pristine rain forests and 18th century Jesuit missions.
