Museo Historico Militar Heroes Del Chaco

Tourist attraction Museum

👍 The museum is not big but it was worth the visit. A soldier who stays there explained the panels and several things about him that depict the Chaco war. I liked the paintings and I particularly liked the description of the first air war in South America between a plane from Paraguay and another from... People often mention museum, visit, history,

    I think they need someone with an idea of ​​design and decoration. There is still a bit of order and something that attracts more attention so that we can impart all the knowledge that the Bolivian himself needs. In other countries, visiting a museum is a mandatory part of tourism. Let's think about it, gentlemen. Let's respect and value our history.

    Small museum run by the Bolivian army, the guides are generally well-trained soldiers on the subject, they are very friendly and polite. The truth is that in my point of view it is too simple, the idea is good but there is a lot of room for improvement. The points to highlight are that the guides are well trained, friendly and it is free.

    (Translated by Google) It is a museum that is in charge of the Bolivian Army. It contains abundant photos and some objects from the Chaco war era. I recommend that you visit it to learn more about how this conflict with the Republic of Paraguay developed. (Original) Es un museo que está a cargo del Ejército Boliviano.

    Possibly the best museum that we visited in Santa Cruz de la Sierra purely because of the young soldier who gave us a great guided tour and who told us all the military history. The pieces in the museum were fascinating to see also. Make a point of visiting and give them a generous donation.

    (Translated by Google) Well, the truth is that I suggest to the military authorities that the place should be improved with a better design, better prepared people in terms of guiding those who visit since it remembers our heroes and people who gave their lives for the country. In the neighboring country, the museum that remembers its heroes has been working. Still recommended. (Original) Bueno la verdad sugiero a las autoridades militares que se debe mejorar el lugar con un mejor diseño gente mejor preparada en cuanto a guiar a los que visitan ya que recuerda a nuestros héroes y gente que dio su vida por el pais. En el vecino pais el museo que recuerda a sus héroes si que esta trabajado. Aun asi recomendable.

    Not a lot to see, but very interesting if you like military history. Many interesting artifacts and you will get a guided tour tour at no charge. If you don't speak Spanish, don't bother visiting.
