BOLIVIA'S JESUIT MISSIONS HOTELSTourism Travel Hotels Airlines Restaurants Agents Forums Things to Do This information on Jesuit Missions Hotels is the most complete you'll find! I went straight to the source to get it! (Scroll down to skip this introduction and go straight to the listing of hotels and accomodations in the Jesuit Missions and Chiquitania region). The "circuit" (as the Jesuit Missions tours tend to be called) covers 7 of the many mission towns in the Chiquitos region of Bolivia where the Jesuit Order established churches centuries ago just after the discovery of the Americas: San Javier, Concepción, San Ignacio, San Miguel, Santa Ana, San Rafael and San José de Chiquitos. Many others were established in other areas of Bolivia, and throughout South America. Most tours of the Jesuit Missions and/or Chiquitania region of Santa Cruz center around important festivities such as the International Baroque Music Festival that takes place every two years. You can read more about the history of the Jesuit Missions and life in the Jesuit Missions to see why baroque music had such a pervasive influence on the Jesuit Missions towns. You can also visit my Jesuit Missions photo gallery to see some of my own photos and others that foreign and Bolivian photographer friends of mine have added. The Chiquitos region of Bolivia is very remote and often difficult to access. In order to provide you THE ABSOLUTE BEST information on Jesuit Missions hotels, lodging and accommodations along the entire Jesuit Missions circuit, I visited the The Mancomunidad Chiquitana. This is the Association of Chiquitano Peoples. All the towns in the Chiquitano region are grouped under one umbrella organization that works very, very hard to promote tourism in the region. You can read more about the Mancomunidad Chiquitana here. No one knows this region better than the Chiquitano people themselves so even though I've traveled to many of the Chiquitano towns myself, I went straight to the source. The Mancomunidad's office in Santa Cruz has information about EVERYTHING having to do with the region - tourism, maps, annual operating plans, regional development plans, soil use plans, wildlife records, healthcare and education, everything! So I met with the Director, Adrian Leaños Kruzfeldt and we talked for hours about how BoliviaBella.com and the The Mancomunidad Chiquitana can work together to promote responsible tourism in this area. I left fully armed with information and maps, and their most recent, completely updated listing of ALL hotels and accommodations available in the region. The association is also supported by other international agencies for cooperation, most notably the Embassy of Spain, which funds an amazing GUIDE that contains a full listing and contact data of all the hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions in the Chiquitania region of Bolivia. So just click on the name of the Jesuit Mission town in which you plan to stay. And after your trip, please return here to review the accommodations you selected to use by posting your opinion on the Bolivia Hotel Review.
