In a city where there is no much to see, September 24th square is the center of the city life. You can buy in the market in the center of the square, or just sit and see people wandering, or admire the mixture between european catholic and indigeneous culture influences.
You can not miss it when being in Santa Cruz. Admire also the view ont the Basilica Menor de San Lorenzo church, as seen on the picture. Leave a Comment Address: Plaza del 24 de SeptiembreDirections: City Center

Santa Cruz de la Sierra is a green city; has many trees everywhere, and Plaza 24 de Septiembre is not an exception. Look carefully to the trees, because you can see sloths among the branches, having a nap!

A little past the Lagoon you will stumble upon a whole new world, inhabited by market stalls. Its mental!!! They sell everything here I swear! Rows upon rows of stalls with smattering of food vendors and chicken restaurants. We went to a place that outside looked like a shopping centre, but instead of shops inside, there was just more stalls! We had our first siting of the Ye Olde German (I think) immigrants, cant remember the cultures name but the traditional dress certainly stands out. Imagine old world quaint farm dress, but really elaborate.
Needless to say this area left us speechless. Directions: Near the Lagoon.
