The church is simply amazing. Station paintings inside are unique - along with the suffering of Christ they expose the modern devastation of Chiquitania nature. Belltower has thick carved wooden columns and winding staircase. Museum contains history photos (including the restoration of the church by the Swiss architect Hans Roth), church things, entry is required to see church patio. Buildings and structures painted with natural colors.
Craftsmen making furniture, carvings from local wood. You can see the tools, style of work, try to buy something.
Once in two years there is the international baroque music festival, which seems to be the best. There is yearly Festivales de Temporada as well. Check the schedules to see, if you can catch one of these.
This is a magic place between the trees and rocks to take a dip and admire the beauty of the nature. Talk to mototaxi drivers (younger ones usually don't know the place but will ask elder ones for help) to help to reach the cascade. Locals tell the place is best visited in January-March, because the greenery and water is the most abundant then.
Serves good local food, the interior is natural, service is nice. There is a couple of parrots to talk with or listen to, some hammocks to take a nap and some toys for kids.
Quiet place, nice service, has hammocks. Private bathroom, breakfast included.
There are a couple of buses daily from Santa Cruz. They stop at San Javier, so you may jump in (i.e. at 11) there.
