Santa Cruz de la Sierra, commonly known as Santa Cruz, is the largest city in Bolivia and is considered the economic heart of the country. Situated along the lush tropical plains of eastern Bolivia, Santa Cruz offers a blend of unique cultural, historical, and natural attractions. The city is known for its vibrant nightlife, bustling markets, and colonial architecture with landmarks like the Cathedral of Santa Cruz and the sacred art museum. Visitors can also explore the nearby Amboro National Park with its diverse wildlife or the pristine lagoons of Lomas de Arena Regional Park. Just outside the city, the Jesuit Missions are a cluster of beautiful settlements that have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Santa Cruz's energetic atmosphere and attractions have something to offer every traveler.

Bolivia, located in the heart of South America, is a breathtakingly beautiful and culturally rich, landlocked country, known for its diverse landscapes and strong indigenous culture. The country offers everything from the towering peaks of the Cordillera Real, which cater to hikers and climbers, to the mirrored expanses of the Salar de Uyuni salt flats, the world's largest, and the wildlife-rich Bolivian Amazon Rainforest. Its administrative capital, La Paz, boasts attractions like the famous Witches' Market and the Moon Valley, while the constitutional capital, Sucre, is famous for its well-preserved colonial architecture. With a layered history encompassing the Inca Empire, Spanish colonialism, and modern indigenous cultures, Bolivia offers travelers a unique blend of scenery, history, culture, and adventure.

Bolivia

Travelers planning to visit Bolivia should exercise a high level of caution due to the country's current political unrest and social tensions. Beware of illegal roadblocks, a frequent occurrence in several regions. It's advised to stay updated on local news and avoid areas known for civil unrest. There is also an increased risk of violent crime, so exert vigilance, particularly at night. The situation can be potentially volatile, so constant monitoring of the situation is crucial for your safety.

I stayed in a backpacker, airbnb near downtown, city it has not much attractions. 
The botanic garden was quite good and the main attraction is without doubt EL FUERTE pre Inca construction related to Tiahuanaco. 
Santa Cruz is completely different from the rest of Bolivia, it is a coast style city in the mountain.
