Santa Cruz de la Sierra Travel Guide

 morgesorbe Says:  You have to visit "La Plaza". It is situated in the middle of the town, it's a pretty garden with a lot of things to do. There's many restaurants and pubs, you can visit the beautiful cathedral ant many other things. You can do some shopping at the "shopping bolivar."There's... 

 Totakeke Says:  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... 

 Totakeke Says:  There are marble chess tables situated all around the Plaza 24 Septembre which is so cool! The area is beautiful, clean and safe (Lots of guards nearby). The plaza is a great way to while away an hour or so when the weather is warm, and if youre getting a bit nippy sitting... 

 Totakeke Says:  You can hire a paddle boat on the Lagoon for roughly 80p (8 bs). Its fun but hardwork as the boats have seen better days :) There will usually be people on the shore offering to take your picture with a polaroid if thats your thing. 

 realde14 Says:  It is around Santa Cruz is where the more interesting places can be found. The village of Samaipata, 120 kilometres away from Santa Cruz, on the foothills of the Cordillera at 1600 metres is a pleasant little town that is near to the Pre-Inka ruins of El Fuerte. El Fuerte... 

 realde14 Says:  As mentioned, the city of Santa Cruz has very little attractions. One of the few is the main square plaza 24 de septiembre and the adjacent Cathedral. 

 Totakeke Says:  The Pub/ Restaurant situated on the Plaza de 24 Septembre is on the second floor of a shopping centre, its easily spotted though due to a massive sign. Staff are very nice, efficient and the food doesnt take long to arrive. They serve a large variety of alcoholic drinks and... 

 Totakeke Says:  Mainly an Icecream place, Picolo also does i wide selection of hot foods such as Empanadas, omelettes, breakfasts and main meals. Food is delicious and the icecream is the nicest Ive ever had, staff are friendly but after going there a few times they seemed to single us out... 

 realde14 Says:  It is a little bit for tourists (of which there are few in Santa Cruz), but the Irish Pub is also very well frequented by the local youth. Centrally located on the plaza de 24 de septiembre, it is a good choice for some music, beer and food casual 

 realde14 Says:  I was extremely surprised at the super busy nightlife in Santa Cruz. I had no idea!Along the Avenida San Martin in Equipetrol you will find one bar/club after another, music blaring, a constant flow of cars and people. There is not a particular place I can recommend, but if... 

 angelayjose Says:  Unfortunately, I dont know the name or where it is, but there is a river in Santa Cruz. When you enter, on both sides there are huts where you can eat, dance, or drink a beer. You can also rent 4 wheelers (about 80 Bolivianos an hour) which comes to less than $10. You can... 

 monica_pons Says:   Santa Cruz is a mix of races, Qollas and Cambas or Cruceños.I were taking some pictures from Santa Cruz and a Camba shouted me that it was better to take monument pictures than Qolla people. For the Cambas the Qollas are the lower class. I didn’t take any monument picture...
