Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is a city in Bolivia. Since Bolivia has no direct access to the sea, goods can be transported by rail from seaports in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Peru. Despite this, Bolivia is a member of the International Maritime Organization. The closest seaport to Santa Cruz is Arica in northern Chile. The city has a dry port, with the code BOSCR, from which goods are transported inland.
