The route through the heart of the Missions and the Dry Chiquitano Forest is characterized by cultural and natural riches, like in the areas where the Spanish Jesuits left their imprint in the native indigenous Guarayo and Chiqutano population who have preserved the colonial-period architecture and the wood carvings put together in the dry forest. The area has been catalogued as one of the last relics of this type to survive in Latin America.
A diversity of orchids ornament the indigenous towns that through Baroque music, handicrafts and dances share their ancestral wisdom with their visitors, a mixture of ancient knowledge syncretized with the Mission culture.
The Dry Chiquitano Forest has been catalogues as unique in the world as it shows the transition between the humid Amazonian forest and the Chaco and dry-valley desert vegetation typical of southern Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.
