Bolivia

Jesuit Missions in the Bolivian lowlands


3 days as part of a tailor-made holiday to Bolivia

San Javier, Concepción and San Ignacio

Following their arrival in Peru in 1569, the missionary Jesuits dedicated themselves to the conversion to Christianity of indigenous communities in Paraguay and Bolivia. The communities lived in selfsufficient settlements known as reducciones, supervised by Jesuit priests. Their economic success was refl ected in imposing and ostentatious churches, the remains of which can be visited.

You will visit and spend the night at 2 mission settlements: firstly San Javier, the oldest, founded in 1691,with a recently restored church and museum.  Visit the colonial town of Concepcíon. The following day you will explore 3 of the more remote original missions before overnighting at San Ignacio and returning to Santa Cruz.
