SANTA CRUZ, BENI and PANDO — two thirds of the country and the part least often pictured. Cassava and plantain as the everyday starch, rice, maize, peanuts; cattle ranching on the Beni savannas; river fish — pacú, surubí, sábalo; BRAZIL NUTS from Pando, a genuinely major export gathered from standing forest; tropical fruit including ACHACHAIRÚ; CUÑAPÉ, the cassava and cheese bread; majadito and locro cruceño. Dozens of Indigenous peoples — Chiquitano, Moxeño, Movima, Tacana, Tsimané, Yuracaré and others.
