SANTA FE DE CARANAVI: los primeros ''colonizadores'' de Bolivia (80 años después)

Can you imagine leaving the cold of the high plateau and trekking into an unknown jungle to found a new town? This is the true story of Santa Fe de Caranavi, considered the first town in northern La Paz, founded 80 years ago by courageous settlers from Pacajes who, guided by their faith and hope, ventured into the jungle to build a new life. In this documentary, you'll explore its history from its origins, with a cinematic recreation of the 1940s, testimonies from descendants of the first settlers, and a tour of present-day Santa Fe: its streets, its plaza, the Coroico River, its fields, and the daily life of its people. But that's not all… During my visit, an unexpected event occurred that shocked the entire town: the collapse of the suspension bridge over the Coroico River, an accident that completely changed the course of this journey. You'll also learn about the human stories that make this place unique: from Don Enrique's flower cultivation to Don Óscar's raising of exotic birds in the Chaco region. Santa Fe is not just a town… it's memory, faith, sacrifice, and future. 🎥 Join me on this journey through one of the most historic towns in northern La Paz. 📍 Santa Fe de Caranavi – Bolivia 📅 80 years of history 👇 Let me know in the comments if you knew this story or if you have family in Santa Fe.

My land was created from nothing in the middle of the jungle, but now it's a paradise where people still live in harmony with nature, caring for and preserving the habitat with their customs and traditions.
