Urubichá, Small town in Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia
Urubichá sits at 200 meters elevation on the banks of the Blanco River, surrounded by lagoons filled with diverse flora and fauna.
The Jesuits established a mission settlement in this location, leaving a lasting influence on the local musical traditions and architectural heritage.
The town maintains a music school and orchestra that performs baroque compositions, continuing traditions passed down from European Jesuit missionaries.
Residents travel 5 to 6 miles to reach agricultural fields where they cultivate corn, bananas, peanuts, and manioc for local consumption.
