Santa Cruz, Bolivia is ideal for outdoor restaurants (“restaurantes campestres”). With its beautiful tropical climate throughout most of the year, locals and tourists alike are able to enjoy a long, lazy lunch or dinner under the sky. And believe me, we totally take advantage of our great climate! Most people prefer to socialize outdoors! Sidewalks are brimming with cafés, bars and restaurants at any hour of the day. Although most restaurants in the city have at least a small outdoor section, this page lists really rural out-in-the-country outdoor restaurants – most are not far from the city of Santa Cruz. They make for a great day trip. Some have playgrounds, others are huge complexes with swimming pools and other forms of entertainment. Either way, they are great places to spend the day and enjoy a great “camba” meal. Some are inordinately beautiful! Dress casually, go on an empty stomach so you can eat a lot and sample tons of news stuff, and be prepared to dance or at least enjoy some outdoor live music at some. Some of these open only on weekends, so call first.
