Route of the Franciscan colonial convents
Sucre, the constitutional capital of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (also called Chuquisaca, Charcas and Ciudad Blanca) can be the starting point of The Route of the Colonial Convents, a brand-new tourist-spiritual tour for pilgrims who want to discover the cultural and religious richness of Latin America, in addition to the legacy of the Franciscans in the continent.
Missionary Province of St. Anthony
The Franciscan Friars, present in Bolivia since 1540 and constituted in 1993 as the Missionary Province of St. Anthony, have for centuries promoted the evangelization and human promotion of the indigenous peoples, as well as the valorization of an immense and precious artistic and cultural heritage linked to their missionary activity.
