Santa Ana de Velasco

Santa Ana de Velasco is a town in the eastern Bolivia, Santa Cruz department.

Understand
Santa Ana is best known as one of the Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a very small village where life is quiet. The church of Santa Ana is the most authentic from the mission churches.

By bus
There is a bus from San Ignacio that goes daily to San Rafael through Santa Ana. The road from San Ignacio to Santa Ana is rough road of very bad quality. Locals tell (as of 2012) the road won't become better soon as the president prefers to invest into the roads of the western part of the country.

By taxi
You can visit Santa Ana by taxi on a day trip from San Ignacio.

By foot
Santa Ana is small enough to walk on foot.
