Other sights in Santa Cruz

  1. Zoo

    Santa Cruz’ zoo has a collection of native birds, mammals and reptiles kept in pleasingly humane conditions, although the llamas are a bit overdressed for the climate. If you’re not into going to the jungle, this is a good place to see spectacular species such as tapirs, pumas, jaguars and spectacled bears. Keep your eyes open for free-ranging sloths and squirrel monkeys in the trees.

  2. Guaraní Museum

    A small but fascinating and professionally presented exhibition of Guaraní culture. Look for the animal masks and tinajas (huge clay pots) used for making chicha. You’ll need to knock on the gate for entry.
