Misión de San José, Jesuit mission church in San José de Chiquitos, Bolivia.
The mission features a stone church structure with a bell tower, mortuary chapel, and extensive workshops spread across the property.
Founded in 1698 by Jesuit missionaries Felipe Suárez and Dionisio Ávila, the mission provided shelter for the Penoqui Indians of eastern Bolivia.
The mission complex represents the fusion of European architectural designs with local building techniques, evident in its stone construction methods.
Visitors can explore the mission grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the architectural and religious elements.
The mission's stone construction differentiates it from other Jesuit missions in the region, which primarily used adobe and wood materials.
