Valley – Holy Cross
The military command had been installed in Vallegrande and especially the Bolivian rangers and CIA agents who were sent to the region to combat the Ñancahuazú guerrilla..
Our Lord of Malta Hospital and its famous laundry have been preserved, where the corpses of Che Guevara and some of his men, were exposed to the public. That was the place where the famous Freddy Alborta photos showing Che Guevara dead with his eyes open were taken., whose image reminds many of that of Jesus Christ.(See photo of Freddy Alborta)
Also preserved is the collective grave in which he was clandestinely buried along with seven other guerrillas and which was found in 1997, like other collective graves in which remains of members of the group were found, with collaboration of the world-renowned Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team.
Tourism is an important sector of the economy. Festivities such as carnival attract tens of thousands of tourists. Vallegrande is a mandatory visit on Che's route, since he was buried there, after his death in the neighboring town of La Higuera.
Other tourist towns and attractive places are nearby and many visitors take the opportunity to see them., among the main ones are Samaipata, Pucara, Postrervalle, The Fig Tree, the Guadalupe Dam, the ruins of ancient civilizations in Pucarillo, the stone mills in Cuevas, the cave paintings of Mataral, the Rio Grande drawers, Alto Seco and Masicurí.
