Chochis is a place of passage on the trip to the eastern Chiquitania, but a must visit for its attractions that jump to the eye, a mountain range that surrounds the town, the stone tower that highlights its landscape and the Marian Sanctuary, the local population used to seeing tourists passing by, was content to show its attractions, without achieving greater benefits than its prestige of being a beautiful place.
Through an agreement between the Municipal Government and CEPAC, with the support of the French Embassy, a project oriented to the rehabilitation of the livelihoods of families of the Chiquitania was initiated, in this framework arises the need to look for creative solutions for the Chiquitanian families to take advantage of their comparative advantages.
It has been possible to prepare a very attractive tourist offer, combining visits to the Velo de la novia (natural spa), to know the carvings of Cesar Lara in Campo Arte, to visit the Sanctuary, where there is an exhibition of handicrafts carved in wood, stone, fabrics, paintings, etc. and pleasant places to enjoy the Chiquitanian gastronomy, La Pacana, and the baked Mami Cele and Rincón Camba.
