The artful mission churches of the Jesuits
In the mid-18th century, Jesuit missionaries settled in the Chiquitania, homeland of the Chiquitos people. Their churches in San Javier, Concepción, San Miguel, Santa Ana, San Rafael, San José de Chiquitos and Santiago de Chiquitos are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, prized for their distinctive architecture.
