GENERAL INFORMATION
On August 6, 1825 the Republic of Bolivia was established as
free, united, sovereign and independent. In the frame of the New
Political Constitution of the State approved on January 25, 2009,
Bolivias offcial name was changed to Plurinational State of Bolivia
(Presidential Decree 0048 18.03.09).
The structure of the territory which today constitutes the Plurinational
State of Bolivia dates back to the history of the cultures which developed
in the plateau region, such as the Viscachanense, the Ayampitinense,
the Chiripa, the Wancarani, the Urus and particularly the Tiwanacota;
characterized as the frst Andean Empire in whose domains the frst
planed city in the region was built: Tiwanacu.
During the development of the Inca Empire, the region corresponding
to Bolivia became known as Collasuyo which was predominately
occupied by Aymara settlers.
The ethnic groups in Bolivia are divided in: Andean settled in the larger
parts of the plateau regions and valleys and the low lands.
The arrival of the Spaniards disassembled the organization which
operated for centuries in the region implanting a new political
institutional structure; supported by the exploitation of the none-
renewable natural resources. In order to achieve their outlined
objectives, the conquistadores organized the territory and founded
cities with specifc functions in strategic regions for their own beneft.
Bolivia has been scenario of historical events of great transcendence,
both local and continental. One of the main events was the foundation
of the Greater University and Pontifcal of Saint Francisco Xavier in
Chuquisaca; in whose cloisters the revolutionary ideals ripened in the
last quarter of the XVIII Century creating an atmosphere where the
frst cry of freedom was unleashed in our America, on May 25, 1809.
On July 16 of that same year, La Paz joined the libertarian movement,
initiating a process which later transcended throughout the South
American Continent and culminated with the recognition of the
countries of the region as free, sovereign and independent countries.
The Plurinational State of Bolivia adopted for its government the
democratic, participative, representative and communitarian way,
with equal opportunities for men and women.
ORGANIZATION OF THE PLURINATIONAL STATE
The Plurinational State of Bolivia organizes and structures its public power
by way of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly; Executive, Judicial
and Electoral Branches. The organization of the State is founded in the
independence, separation, coordination and cooperation of these branches.

3. PRESENTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
SANTA CRUZ

Santa Cruz is the tropical paradise of Bolivia; a department with exuberant
vegetation with massive extensions of jungle and prairie, located in the
eastern part of the Bolivian territory; it was created on January 23,
1826 during the Presidency of Mariscal (General) Antonio Jos de Sucre.
With an area of 370,621 sq km of which only a third is comprised of
mountainous regions and the rest is spread over the Amazian planes.
Located in eastern Bolivia, it borders the Department of Beni and the
Federative Republic of Brazil to the north; the Department of Chuquisaca
and the Republic of Paraguay to the south, the Federal Republic of Brazil
to the east and west by the departments of Beni, Cochabamba and
Chuquisaca. It has a population of 2,655,084 inhabitants (2012 census).
The Capital of the Department is the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (437
m) located between 17 47 20 South latitude and 63 10 30 west
longitude from the prime meridian.
This Department produces: cotton, sugar cane, tobacco, soy, rice, vanilla,
coffee, sunfowers, cacao, achiote (uruc), and a variety of vegetables,
citric and tropical fruits.

ECONOMY
This Department is mainly characterized by the processing of agricultural
and forestry production, standing soybeans, sugar cane, cotton and
wood. The manufacturing sector also has a strong presence although the
Department is mainly agricultural.
Santa Cruz produces more than 45% of the agricultural production in
the country and contributes with over 40 % of the national agricultural
production, although in some areas such as fbers, their contribution
reaches 97.54 % (oil, and sugarcane). Its main exports are soybean: soy
cake (defatted four) , whole soybean four , soybeans , crude soybean
oil, refned soybean oil ; not carded or combed cotton, refned white
sugar, gold , lumber , frames and doors and wooden windows, tanned
cowhides, cake and sunfower oil, palm hearts preserved, among others.
The main products now include soy (or soya), wood, cotton, rice,
sugarcane, corn, vanilla, coffee , sunfower , cocoa, crude oil , natural
gas; fshing is important in large rivers - fsh farming is also practiced,
specially tilapia . To the southeast of the Department lays the Mutn
region, that exports 100 thousand tons of iron per year to Paraguay
about, and gemstones such as amethyst, citrine and a fusion of these
call bolivianita are also exported , while the crystal melting rock and
amethyst is known as the Ayoreita .
Moreover, the Department of Santa Cruz, is one of the largest
contributors to the GDP of the country, more than 7.855 billion dollars
is the regional GDP, the region contributes with 2.479 billion dollars ,
representing 35% of the total. These results have been due to the strong
regional investment from the central government in the 70s and 80s,
whose main benefciaries were the production of sugar, oil and cotton
and later soybeans and their derivatives and the oil industry; currently
agribusiness Santa Cruz is one of the engines of the economy and also in
recent years has seen an upturn in the service sector , linked to fnances
and technology, especially in communications. The Department has 10%
of the natural gas reserves of Bolivia, producing 37.1% of this energy.
Similar situation occurs with oil, because although it concentrates 10 %
of these reserves, it produces 38.9 % of oil , natural gas and condensate
that is processed in refneries. Such fgures refect in the regional
production structure , as agriculture, forestry, hunting and fshing
make up to 21.9 % of the activity of Santa Cruz , followed closely by
manufacturing , which accounts for 20.73% and the fnancial sector ,
insurance , real estate and business services concentrate 15.22 %.
Another factor that attracts investment to the Department is that the
region has the countrys best indicators of competitiveness. The Regional
Competitiveness Index for the period 2000 - 2001 was 0.82, high above
the other departments. This translates into the fact that 29.1 % of foreign
direct investment, which reached a total of 566 million USD, goes to the
department of Santa Cruz. All indicators identifed above also refect in
an undisputed leadership in the region in national exports. Foreign sales
in 2003 accounted for more than 1.6 billion dollars, 880 million were
exports industries settled in the Department of Santa Cruz , and the
average share rose from 35% in 1999 to 53.3 % in 2003. On this issue
it is also important to note that the share of exports of non-traditional
products is led by Santa Cruz.
All the productive power of the region creates signifcant resources for
Bolivia. According to the National Tax Service and National Customs, in
2002, from 800 million raised (regardless imports), 37% was the result
of the contribution of the region, more specifcally the activity produced
by the region. Indeed, all the productive effort of the Department
7
also impacts the domestic banking system. More than half of the loan
portfolio of the bank is absorbed by the region as a total 3,303 million
recorded in December 2002 by the Superintendency of Banks, Santa
Cruz registered 50.5 % of the total.

don Antonio Lombardo. During the time of Mariscal (General) Andrs
de Santa Cruz (1838), the old temple was substituted for an old church
of eclectic style designed by the French architect Felipe Bestres. It is
remarkable because of its artistic vaults made of wood and because of
its pictorial decorations in which they are covered. The main altar still

eighteen pillars over masonry pedestals which are enclosed within a
wooden pitched ceiling. The structure faces the faade creating a portico

theme. The portico distantly recalls the Greek temples with typical gables
decorated with statues.
San Roque Church
This church was built over wooden pitchforks, used in the form of pillar
crowned with four pointed spires; the temple has three naves structured
in wood and exterior eaves. The cover is also made of wood with scissors
with double fnk and knuckle beams in the roof truss. The tile roof rests
over a hurdle truss. The church was remodeled during the second half of
the XIX century by the Argentinean Architect Bustamante.
