About Equipetrol
What are the main landmarks in Equipetrol?
Just one landmark is listed. The Zoológico de Fauna Sudamericana, a collection given over to South American animals, is what the register ties to Equipetrol, and nothing else in the district carries a heritage entry of its own. Santa Cruz de la Sierra holds the churches and the plazas.
A visitor after monuments will head for the older city, while a visitor after the zoo need not leave Equipetrol North at all.
What is the history of Equipetrol?
Equipetrol reaches the record without a founding year, a district of Santa Cruz de la Sierra whose written trace amounts to a name, a variant reading of that name, and one zoo. Equipetrol North is that variant. What the district shares is the wider past of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, told in the old streets rather than out here.
Dates for the zoo are not in the record either.
Where is Equipetrol?
Equipetrol North names the same ground. The district sits inside Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in Bolivia, with the Zoológico de Fauna Sudamericana on its list.
