Festivales de Temporada
"Festivales de Temporada" means "Seasonal Festivals" and these are held twice a year in the Department of Santa Cruz (Eastern Bolivia) in the Jesuit Mission towns of the Chiquitania region. They consist of numerous baroque choir and orchestra concerts as well as several theater presentations that take place simultaneously in the heart of Bolivia's mystical, tropical region.
Unless you've already planned months in advance to attend the
International Baroque and Renaissance Music Festival
which takes place in Bolivia once every two years (in which choirs and musicians from all over the world participate), this is your chance to visit Bolivia's famed Jesuit mission villages and experience their 500-hundred year old musical and cultural heritage first hand.
The Jesuit Missions
are architecturally and historically rich towns, not tourist attractions in the common sense of the word. Here in many ways people continue to live much as they did centuries ago. Life is slow and peaceful and the towns are located in some of
Bolivia's most beautiful surroundings.
Let the warm tropical breeze lull you with the sweet notes of ancient violins and singing under a starry sky. It's going to be a weekend from which you won't want to awaken. (And an perfect chance to visit some of Bolivia's gorgeous Eastern landscapes).
