Puerto Busch

Puerto Busch is an inland port on the Paraguay River, in Germán Busch Province, Santa Cruz Department, southeastern Bolivia. It is located in the Dionisio Foianini Triangle, a strategic border area awarded to Bolivia by Brazil in the 1903 Treaty of Petrópolis that ended the Acre War. Puerto Busch was founded in 1952 by Bolivian Army officer Manuel Aguirre Quiroga, who named the port after Germán Busch, the 36th president of Bolivia. It is sparsely populated by indigenous Chiquitano and Ayoreo residents.
