Puerto Suárez, with approximately 13,000 inhabitants (in the city proper), is one of the fastest growing cities and most recent Bolivia´s. Nommé for Miguel Suárez Arana, visionary of the 19th century who imagined a utopian in the middle of the Pantanal regulation, it was founded by him in 1875, for the purposes of establishing a presence on the border with Brazil and - of course - use adjacent Río Paraguay for trade. Utopian, it is not, but Suárez do still murder. For a time, was the main warehouse for goods Bolivian, but by the early 1900s, rubber prices (and the product manager region) were fallen considerably on the international market, and the city fell into a State of disuse.
It is the capital of the first section of the Busch Germain province. Puerto Suarez has an approximate population of 22,000. It was founded on the banks of the Laguna de Cáceres on November 10, 1875, by Don Miguel Suarez Arana, who created the site in a sphere and the docking station. This port increased bit by bit with the arrival of ships and goods brought by ships with flags of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.Subsequently the stream of boats has increased substantially following the discovery and the rubber boom boats Velasco.Les brought to Puerto Suarez different goods from overseas linked to Santa Cruz region and took rubber and rubber Bolachas.
When he ran the year 1905 first baptisms were recorded, by the Salesian priest, Fr Guido Becchi, which appears at irregular intervals in 1913, attended the sparse population spiritually Corumbá (Brazil). Earlier this year, Archbishop of Santa Cruz named as first parish priest, Reverend Eusebio Zabala, which remained at the head of the Catholic Christian community in 1931.
This year, the Austrian Franciscan brothers took the pastoral people cristiana.La economic life of Puerto Suarez has always been linked to trade and in time, it became an industrial hub, is currently President of different industries.He has a promising future linked to iron mounting and ecotourism Mutún Pantanal.
It is now in the spotlight again, as a plate hub of regional transport, link mains gas, free trade zone and magnet of eco - tourism .to be honest, it has come a long way from when it was affectionately called the "armpit world", but it is not exactly all eyes candy.Situé 391 miles (631 km) Santa Cruz, along the edge of the South Laguna Cáceres and almost at the end of railway in Brazil, is not the last stop, regardless of whether that claim some guides.(This honour belongs to Puerto Quijarro just 9.3 miles-15 km - on line.)Most people coming here make the journey by train, in which case these 391 miles seem more like 3,910 by the end of the trip.
