Cordillera Province

Cordillera Province is an administrative division in southern Santa Cruz Department, spanning a large territory with dry conditions and varied landscape elevations. Seven municipalities comprise its structure, with Lagunillas as the main administrative center.

The province was established in 1826 and took its name from the territory's landscape and indigenous inhabitants. It has developed into an administrative region spanning seven municipalities.

Local communities celebrate traditional festivals that blend indigenous and mestizo customs with music and regional cooking. These gatherings shape social life across the towns.

The province connects its municipalities through a network of roads ranging from main highways to local routes. Having transportation is helpful for exploring across longer distances.

The territory includes sections of two national parks that protect rare animal species and diverse habitats across the land. These protected areas make the province a key place for nature conservation in Bolivia.
