Jesuit Mission in San Javier, Bolivia

Step back in time with a visit to the Jesuit Mission of San Javier, one of the best preserved mission churches in the tropical lowlands of Bolivia. Founded as a mission in the 18th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site exhibits amazing baroque architecture embellished with indigenous craftsmanship. It is a cultural fusion that lives up to the rich heritage of the Jesuit missionaries.

The stunning landscapes and relaxed vibe of San Javier add to the experience. It is a great representation of the famous Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos circuit that combines history, music, and colonial charm that lends itself to a beautiful environment. After experiencing San Javier, you will walk away with rich traditions, serene beauty, and the realisation that it is one of the premier places to visit in Bolivia based on cultural and spiritual value as well as being a lesser-known destination.
