Vallegrande, Province in Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia
Vallegrande is a province in Santa Cruz Department composed of five municipalities spread across the region. The landscape is primarily defined by agricultural land where farmers grow a variety of crops and fruit.
The province gained international attention in 1967 when revolutionary leader Che Guevara was captured near La Higuera and brought to Vallegrande for identification. This event connected the region to broader movements that shaped South America during that era.
The province maintains strong agricultural roots, with farmers across the region tending to grain and fruit crops that form the backbone of daily life. People here still make traditional breads and fruit liquors by hand, skills passed down through families.
The provincial capital connects to major Bolivian cities through roads that branch from the main Santa Cruz-Cochabamba highway. An airstrip provides an alternative way to reach the area for those arriving by plane.
The elevation of the province creates specific climate conditions that allow farmers to grow peaches, apples, grapes, and chirimoyas. This fruit diversity makes it a notable fruit-growing region in Bolivia.
