Chuiquitos is a region of rain savannas in the eastern Bolivia. The name Chiquitos means "little ones" in Spanish. It was chosen by the Spanish Conquistadores, when they found the small doors of the Indian huts in the region. Around 20 ethnic groups live in the Chuiquitos region. A notable feature are the 18th century Jesuit and Franciscan settlements scattered throughout the region.
