Artecampo
The best place to find fine artesanías (locally handcrafted items), this store provides an outlet for the work of 1000 rural cruceña women and their families. The truly inspired and innovative pieces include leatherwork, hammocks, weavings, handmade paper, greeting cards and lovely natural-material lamp shades.

Av René Moreno
Av René Moreno is the place for souvenir shopping. Beware that prices are much higher here than in La Paz for llama and alpaca wool goods, so perhaps save your pennies by shopping in the capital.
Woodcarvings made from the tropical hardwoods morado and the more expensive guayacán (from US$20 for a nice piece) are unique to the Santa Cruz area. Relief carvings on tari nuts are also interesting and make nice portable souvenirs. Locals also make beautiful macramé llicas (root-fiber bags).

Centro de Arte Y Cultura Guaraní Ñandereko Ñomai
You’ll find lovely wooden carvings and textiles from Guaraní villages here, all created by indigenous families who benefit directly from the sales. It’s only small but worth a visit.
