Geography

"Chiquitos" is the colonial name for what is now essentially five of the six provinces that make up the Chiquitania, a region in Bolivia's Santa Cruz department. "Chiquitos" refers to a region, not a tribe.[citation needed]

Today, the Chiquitania lies within five provinces of Santa Cruz Department: Ángel Sandoval, Germán Busch, José Miguel de Velasco, Ñuflo de Chávez and Chiquitos province.[1][2][3]

Peoples

One of the many tribes inhabiting Chiquitos were the Chiquitano, who still speak the Chiquitano language today.[4]

Languages

Languages historically spoken in the Chiquitania included:

Today, Camba Spanish is the main vernacular lingua franca.

Missions

Main article: Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos

A notable feature are the 18th-century Jesuit reductions and Franciscan settlements scattered throughout the region. Six churches still remain in the zone and were selected in 1990 as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the name Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos.[citation needed]

Ecosystem

Main article: Chiquitano dry forests

The Chiquitano dry forest is the ecosystem which connects South America's two largest biomes, the Amazon and the Gran Chaco, a dense dry forest of thorn-covered trees and scrub that extends south into Paraguay and Brazil.[5]
