Andrés Ibáñez Province

Andrés Ibáñez Province extends over 110 kilometers from west to east and contains five municipalities, including the major city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

The province, established on December 6, 1944, during Gualberto Villarroel López's presidency, honors the Bolivian politician Andrés Ibáñez from the 19th century.

Spanish remains the primary language among 99 percent of residents, with additional populations speaking Quechua, Aymara, and Guaraní throughout the region.

The province maintains a semi-humid tropical climate with temperatures between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius, featuring brief dry seasons in July and August.

The region produces over 80 percent of Bolivia's agricultural output, focusing on soybeans, corn, and sugarcane cultivation in its fertile territories.
