Route 2: Jesuit Route / Chiquitanía

About this Tour

Explore the cultural heritage of the Chiquitanía mission region, home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites (including Concepción and San José de Chiquitos). **Classic Route (recommended):** Via San José de Chiquitos (paved road), from there to San Ignacio de Velasco → Concepción → San Julián. This variant is more relaxed, time-saving and suitable for all travelers. **Adventure Route:** San Juan de Lomerio → San Ignacio de Velasco → Concepción → San Julián (approx. 835 km, 16 hours pure driving time). This route partially follows **Route 39**, an unpaved jungle road – a real adventure with spectacular landscapes, but not for the faint of heart! Each mission has its own character: magnificent wood carvings, golden altars, historic courtyards. In some villages you can even hear baroque music concerts or watch artisans at work. What always impresses me: These churches are not just museums – they are the center of village life. Here history meets the present.
