Santuario Mariano de la Torre, Shrine to the Virgin Mary in Chochís, Bolivia
The Santuario Mariano de la Torre stands near Chochís village, featuring wooden pillars and doors with detailed carvings throughout the structure.
Built in 1988 under architect Hans Roth's supervision, the sanctuary commemorates sixteen victims who perished in the El Portón flood of January 1979.
The interior pillars display regional symbols carved in wood, including parrots, toucans, anteaters, and fish, representing local wildlife and traditions.
Visitors need to complete a three-kilometer uphill walk from Chochís to reach the sanctuary, requiring water and sun protection during the journey.
Located 100 meters from the chapel, a cave contains an image of the Virgin of Assumption, adding spiritual significance to this mountain location.
